Em D C Bm Am G F  Fsus4 F

F                           Em           G
Earth between my toes and a flower in my hair
C                 Bm      D       F#m A           D
that's what I was wearing when we lay   among the ferns.
F                Am         C      Em     G         Bm   D
Earth between my toes and a flower I will wear when he returns.

F                         Em             G
Wind upon his face and my fingers in his hair
C                  Bm      D       F#m A             D
that's what he was wearing when we lay   beneath the sky.
F             Am          C    Em      G         Bm       D
Wind upon his face and my love he will wear when swallows fly.

D        Am     D       Am    D
Tears of sorrow running deep
        Am     D     F#m
running silent in my sleep
        G                    Am
running silent in my sleep.
