Capo 1st fret


F/ I will make you a cloud
C/    and send with the wind
D/    laden with tears
Am/ for your heart to mend.

F/ It's darkness you'll see
C/    silver linings can't be
D/    my branches are bare
Am/ I'm a lightning struck tree.

F/ No rooks here a rooking
C/     no bark or no leaves,
D/     but my acorn has fallen
Am/  right into the eaves.

F/  Trapped in a spillway
C/     still in its nut,
D/     my D - N and A,
Am/  may never come out.

F/ Oh but for a sparrow
C/     a robin or finch,
D/    just for one nudge,
Am/  it’s barely an inch.

F/ Into the outflow
C/     past the incline,
D/    my roots have all vanished,
Am/ a place for my kine.

F/ You carved on my torso,
C/     a cupid with bow,
D/    the love seed you planted
Am/ neglected to grow.

F/ The time it has come,
C/     a season has passed,
D/    an oak in the making,
Am/  its kernel unmasked.
