Verse 1

 The giant of Illinois died from a blister on his toe

 After walking all day through the first winter snow

Throwing bits of stale bread to the la - ast speckled dove

 He never even felt his shoe full of blood

 Delirious with pain his bedroom walls began to glow

 And he felt himself soaring up through falling snow

 And the sky was a woman's arms

 The sky was a woman's arms

Verse 2

A boy with a clubfoot that sat next to him in school

Once upon a summer's day then went wandering through the woods

They spotted a sleeping swan on the banks of a muddy stream

And they stormed it with rocks till it collapsed in the reeds

They lay out on the green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade

But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid

And the sky was a woman's arms...
