D Gm/E Bm7 G5 G* D A D

Huge crows loitering by the curb
Our shared paths unraveling behind us like ribbons
And I dreamed of vultures, in the trees around our house
And cicadas and locusts and the shrieking of innumerable gibbons

All of them all of them
All of them all of them
All of them all of them all of them all of them
All lined up

Numbers far too high to measure

Your face like a vision straight out of Holly Hobby
Late light drizzling through your hair
Your eyes twin volcanoes
Bad ideas dancing around in there

All all of them all of them
All of them all of them
All of them all of them all of them all of them
All lined up
