CANYON LINES
If you can't find my trail of tears
It's just that I've been crying
For so many years
And I'm trying so hard not to disappear again
Into the canyon walls so steep
That water cuts the stone like you'd never believe
And the echoes become your only friends
Do you remember when you go to sleep at night
How the coyote cried a lonesome high
And you held me close til morning touched my skin
Cause now all I can see are the water lines
How it used to be before it ran dry
And I try to believe the river will come again
Like it did back then
My heart's still soft for you my love
And every time I look at Orion above
Oh it's just enough to make a mess out of me
Every hour, every day
It doesn't seem to matter, time or space
Oh the heart strings they run so deep
Do you remember when you go to sleep at night
How the coyote cried a lonesome high
And you held me close til morning touched my skin
Cause now all I can see are the water lines
How it used to be before it ran dry
And I try to believe the river will come again
Like it did back then
