[VERSE 1]
DGown in the Valley of HDollow Logs
Two lovers lay in the wAeeds
SGafe in the net of their swDeaty arms
Safe from the wAind in the trDees
[VERSE 2]
My lGove, said the boy, you're the clDear blue sky
You're the air I gulp to brAeathe
I fGeel you rushing thrDough my veins
Like the wind rushing thrAough the trDees
[VERSE 3]
My lGove, said the girl, you're my sDecret pearl
You're a string of tiny glass bAeads
You're a bGurning star I kDeep in a jar
Safe from the wAind in the trDees
[SOLO]

[VERSE 4]
DGown in the Valley of HDollow Logs
Two lovers lay back in the wAeeds
LGistening to the howl of hDunting dogs
And the wind howling thrAough the trDees
[VERSE 5]
Then Ginsects ran for the Dunderbrush
As the wind filled the air with dead lAeaves
And Gevery stone turned slDowly to dust
As the wind tore thrAough the trDees

[Bass arr. for guitar]
[VERSE 6]
So the yoGung girl pierced her lDily-white breast
Her blood poured over dark wAeeds
A sGilver dagger through hDer burning heart
Cold as the wAind in the trDees
[VERSE 7]
Then the bGoy picked up that blDoody knife
And stove it through his chAest
FarewGell, farewell to the wDind and the trees
I'll die with the oAne I love bDest
