| [00:12.49] |
From the dusty May sun, |
| [00:15.82] |
her looming shadow grows |
| [00:20.54] |
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote |
| [00:27.41] |
|
| [00:30.27] |
She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun, |
| [00:38.26] |
And when I touched her skin, |
| [00:41.45] |
my fingers ran with blood. |
| [00:46.08] |
|
| [00:58.78] |
In the hushing dusk, |
| [01:01.73] |
under a swollen silver moon, |
| [01:06.71] |
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom. |
| [01:13.58] |
|
| [01:16.31] |
And strange hands halted me; |
| [01:20.39] |
the looming shadows danced. |
| [01:24.37] |
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand. |
| [01:32.61] |
|
| [01:48.59] |
When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold, |
| [01:56.61] |
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones. |
| [02:04.35] |
|
| [02:06.46] |
And rise with me forever across the silent sand, |
| [02:13.99] |
And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands. |
| [02:22.58] |
