lyrics

I lay in the satin fold
the sleeping spirit of the cowboy
the mythic fire cold
the western dream an ember in the path

caught myself as a thief
and I cannot believe
I am playing sentinel alone
picking acorns in the road

I knew the road to my el dorado
but I was caught looking at the weeds
empty signs, but a turn of mine
I was tied looking at the trees

and my friend, she gives me a blessing,
she believes,
shows me into
the house I’ve built
glowing in the botanique

daylight shines on her theater
the western revived
my remote cutoff in the sand
my story lies

I knew the road to my el dorado
but I was caught looking at the weeds
empty signs, feeding the turn of mine
I was knelt down looking at the trees

tell me about your feeling
I see your eyes are looking dim
I see you running circles
counting the ways ahead

sage flowers and ice
show me all the ways you love
fool cowboy stands rider in the sand
I see your fire’s getting low
