you were the king of carrot flowers

& how you built a tower tumbling through the trees

in holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

                               C                       G

  & this is the room

one afternoon I knew I could love you
                         D              C    D
& from above you how I sank into your soul

into that secret place where no one dares to go

                               D                 C   D
& dad would dream of all the different ways to die
                            C               G
each one a little more than he could dare to try
