Some Canyons Are Better Left Drowned

from Unremembered Year by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

Start getting dressed
We're heading west
Spent nights crawling out from under
Skies of sand & Colorado thunder
I'm tired & frayed but you're electric air
The current pulls like an arrow
Pushing us straight through the narrow

4:45 - you say it's Alpine Time
Rainclouds in the rearview mirror
If I wait will I be delivered
A river can't be crossed but I love being lost
Will we fall in the frozen water
Or rise like Zion's sons & daughters

What if all I find is a heart that cannot be climbed
Spent years waiting for you to come round
Some canyons are better left drowned
The way you waved your hand across the broken land
Scenes & smiles I want to remember
They flash for a moment & they're gone forever
