          Em7                                  G
There's a river that parts the valley of this town

Em7                           G
Following the road up to your father's farm

     Em7                          G
Your rosy lungs were empty on the day that you were born

    Em7                                     G
And no one thought you'd make it past the morning

     Em7
Your brother said your mother

                                   G
Was a firefly you buried in the earth

    Em7
And every night, the fire light

                                 G
Warms the tender bits of skin beneath your shirt

    Em7                               G
The climbing constellations move in semi-tones

    Em7                                                    G
And set behind the county line in a melody of gravitation

Sleep amongst the mango trees and poison toads

A flood for every footprint, and every mile you forgot

Though your hands were little, they always gave a lot
