G D
Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs
A
Two lovers lay in the weeds
G D
Safe in the net of their sweaty arms
A D
Safe from the wind in the trees
G D
My love, said the boy, you're the clear blue sky
A
You're the air I gulp to breathe
G D
I feel you rushing through my veins
A D
Like the wind rushing through the trees
G D
My love, said the girl, you're my secret pearl
A
You're a string of tiny glass beads
G D
You're a burning star I keep in a jar
A D
Safe from the wind in the trees

G D
Down in the Valley of Hollow Logs
A
Two lovers lay back in the weeds
G D
Listening to the howl of hunting dogs
A D
And the wind howling through the trees
G D
Then insects ran for the underbrush
A
As the wind filled the air with dead leaves
G D
And every stone turned slowly to dust
A D
As the wind tore through the trees

Bass arr. for guitar
G D
So the young girl pierced her lily-white breast
A
Her blood poured over dark weeds
G D
A silver dagger through her burning heart
A D
Cold as the wind in the trees
G D
Then the boy picked up that bloody knife
A
And stove it through his chest
G D
Farewell, farewell to the wind and the trees
A D
I'll die with the one I love best
