C                                F                  G
You came down from heaven to the branch outside my window
 C                      G        F
Your feathers were the color of snow
     G               C             F
The dice were loaded against us ever seeing each other
     C                         F
But one of us had nowhere else to go


[Verse 2]
          C                F                   G
In your eyes were all the colors the rainbow forgot
       C             G                F
Your wingspan was three feet wide or better
 C          G                         F               C
With your voice practicing notes from time's own beginning
  F                         G
You took apart the alphabet letter by letter


[Verse 3]
     C          G                  F
And here, where it all stops for good
  C                   F
Where the cool waters run
   C                    G
Thought I saw a mouse kicking in your beak
         C    G      F
It was only a skele-ton
