Track Insight / Lyrics
From watchtower high I scan the floor
Canyon depths stretch out in copper glow
Rust red veins in stone, a desert heart
Beats in sync with distant highway's hum
Summer sun on raptor feathered friends
Desert flowers bloom in fleeting grace
Cactus spines cast long shadows, tale of time
Ancient rock, my refuge, timeless space
In the stillness, sonnet to the night
Stars above, wild desert wild below
Guardian of the rocks, silent sentinel
Watching over secrets, stories untold
Moonrise silver paints the greasewood gray
Driftwood logs weathered, etched with dry creek's tale
Limestone cliffs rise to a western sky
Swallows dance in silhouette, dancing free
In the stillness, sonnet to the night
Stars above, wild desert wild below
Guardian of the rocks, silent sentinel
Watching over secrets, stories untold
Indian ruins whisper tales of past
Basket weavers, warriors, dendrochronic truths
Petrified ferns, fossilized in stone
Ancient earth's chronicles penned on rock's face
In the stillness, sonnet to the night
Stars above, wild desert wild below
Guardian of the rocks, silent sentinel
Watching over secrets, stories untold
Desert dreaming, visions in the night
Coyote's howl, kudzu vines entwined in stone
Rattlesnake's rattle, heartbeat never still
Wild heart of the west, spirit forever free
In the stillness, sonnet to the night
Stars above, wild desert wild below
Guardian of the rocks, silent sentinel
Watching over secrets, stories untold
Pioneer moon dips below the rim
Canyon's pulse slows, desert hush descends
In watchtower dark, I'll stand alone
Vigil in the clefts where ancient secrets blend.
