When you were young

You were the king of carrot flowers

And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees

In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

F                   C      Bb
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder

And this is the room

One afternoon I knew I could love you

And from above you how I sank into your soul

Into that secret place where no one dares to go

Each one a little more than he could dare to try
