D              G
I found an old rock

       D           G
In the dry dirt outside

    G       A  D
The door of my motel room

         D                          G
It was a triangle with soft rounded edges

      D                            G
And a split down the middle of one corner

       G                   A
It was darker than english moss

D                                G
Green like the soft frill's of a peacock's plume

  G          A
I waited for you

      D                      G
But I never told you where I was

       E                 A
It was you who taught me how

   D                     Bm
To write these kinds of equations

  G                       A
I waited on the steps for you

      D                            G
And I hid in the bushes whenever a car pulled into the parking lot

E             A                 Bm           G       
You taught me how to listen to these distant stations

I saw the sky break

I threw a rock at a crow who was playing In the mulches and rose bushes by the motel

  D                     A            D                    
office. Missed him by a good yard or two

      D               G
I sang old songs from nowhere

    D            G
Los Angeles, Albuquerque

G                           A
Said a small prayer for the poor and the naked and the hungry

      D                    G
And I prayed real hard for you

  G          A
I waited for you

But I never told you where I was

       E                 A
It was you who taught me how

   D                   Bm
To write this kind of equation

I waited on the steps for you

      D                                  G
And I hid in the bushes whenever I saw a car pulled into the parking lot
