Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]She licks her finger
[G]and dampens her eye
To make [C]people think she [Dm]is crying
For all around her [G]are tear- sorrowed faces
But [C]she is too young to know [D]dy ing

[Verse 2]
[D]Outside [A]the window tree
branches sway down
[D]Long, glassy fin[A]gers s[D]weep
[A]snow- cov[D]ered gro[A]und
While in[D]side a woman is moaning softly
For loss of a son
[A][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]She sees black- ribboned
white [G]roses and hears
A man [C]with bowed head heavily [Dm]sighing
Then bravely she turns her
gaze [G]back to the box
Where a [C]broken young body is [D]lying

[Verse 4]
[A]Outside the crystal icicles shine bright
Casting a prism, reflecting the light
That send[D]s rainbows
dancing across the brow
Of [G]a pastor in [D]prayer[A][Dm]

[Verse 5]
She [Dm]touches her face to see
[G]if the mouth tears
She put [C]on with her finger are [Dm]drying
Then her young attention is
[G]drawn back outside
Where [C]she watches a small
brown bird [D]flying

[Verse 6]
[A]Coming to land on the icy fence rail
With such a momentum it
skids on its tail
And she [D]laughs so loud and then quickly

[Outro 1]
Claps her small hand to her mouth
[A][D]
