about

This is a demo I recorded at home, a meditation on the Sonoran Desert.

lyrics

red rock, ponderosa pine
spread out under a, big sky
night falls, coyotes sing
up above, the hush of, owl wings

moonrise, pale blue light
washes from a, big sky
camp fire, shadows fall
like pictographs on, canyon walls

ghost whales, remember when
this was all just, ocean:
the red rock, ponderosa pine
spread out under a, big sky

last coals, glimmer shy
lost in the dark under a, big sky
dawn light, spirits sing
sun shines bright on, hawk wings

bird song, rises high
wakes the day under a, big sky
at rim’s edge, I stand
filled with the joy of, these lands

ghost whales, remember when
this was all just, ocean:
the red rock, ponderosa pine
spread out under a, big sky

ghost whales
ocean
red rock
big sky
