^C They both met in the^G midnight sky, ^D Got lost in ea^Emch other's eyes, Then ^Cthrew away the ^Gmap and lost the ^Am7key, ^CGod sent them the ^Gfirst two kids, ^DOne named Fire, the ^Emother one Wind, With a no^Cte that floated ^Gdown for them to ^Am7read. It said 'You ^Casked what it was ^Glike up here for ^DMe.'

Mother Earth and Father ^CTi-^Gime, ^DFell in love over ^EmAppalachian ^Cwi-^Gine, ^DHit a rough spell and ^Emalmost lost their ^Cmi-^Ginds, ^DRaised a little hell be^Emfore they fell in ^Cli-^Gine.

^CFire came out with a ^Grestless soul, That ^Donly got worse as h^Eme got older, 'Til fi^Cnally he g^Got too hot to ^Am7tame. ^CTime said 'Son I k^Gnow it's hard but, ^D You're breaking your ^EmMomma's heart.'

^CWind was born to the ^Gopen sky with a, ^D Bad temper and a ^Emwandering eye, That ke^Cpt him on the ru^Gn for most his ^Am7days.

Then ^CGod reached down and ^Gtook their hands, ^DDried their tears, and ^Emsmiled and said, 'That's ^Ckind of what it's ^Glike up here for ^Am7Me. Yeah, ^Cloving them will ^Gcost you every-^Dthing.'
