lyrics

the sun's an amber glint on broken bottles by the rail
pitching rocks at glass lined on the tracks, how careless youth prevails
I'm a David in the pasture singing psalms to simple sheep
and the yellow earth's a bolt of lightning speed

silhouettes of giant horses in a steady, iron sway
where the river ghosts go tripping over pebbles on their way
I'm the living proof of something where the living go to die
in the purple desert, peaceful passing by

ooh, and we all know
ooh, it's a long road home

in a white fluorescent glow behind the stadium at night
where the adolescent vandals scale the water tower heights
I'm the dream of endless summer disappearing in the cold
And the tender hopes of boys a' growing old

at the crest of the horizon grows the san francisco peak
i can hear the ponderosa pines of Coconino speak
i'm a weary sum of histories, a blizzard blowing in
and a cactus choir sings my song again
