I Fell
From the album Through the Trees
[INTRO]
A B E
[VERSE 1]
A B
There's a mountain north of Winnipeg
E
buried under ice,
A B
and as the black clouds roll above
E
white pines crack like glass
A B
Walking under those swaying trees,
E
branches bowed with ice,
A B
I wanted one to fall on me
E
to pin me in the snow
[CHORUS]
G#m A
That silver forest
G#m A
reminded me of you
G#m
and how I kissed you
A B E
and I fell down to the bottom of a well
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 2]
A B
Down a dirt road west of El Paso
E
behind a burning barn,
A B
I stumbled on a horse's bones
E
bleaching in the sand
A B
But when I reached down to touch the skull
E
underneath my hand,
A B
a stream of orange lizards poured out
E
from the bone-white mouth
[CHORUS]
G#m A
That empty mouth
G#m A
reminded me of you
G#m
and how I kissed you
A B E
and I fell down to the bottom of a well
