Track Insight / Lyrics
Trench coat dust on creosote bush
Boot heels click on volcanic crust
Prosopis glandulosa stands
Thorny sentinels guard ancient lands
Case files fade in shimmering heat
Badge stays locked in glove compartment seat
Roots drink deep where monsoons meet
Silence sings a bittersweet
Ocotillo fingers trace the sky
Witness to the years rolling by
No warrant needed for this view
Just sunlight on the red rock hue
Ocotillo witness, true
Larrea tridentata scent rises
After rain the desert surprises
Fouquieria splendens blooms
Breaking through the caliche glooms
Holster empty, notebook blank
Thoughts reorganize, rank by rank
Canyon walls hold secrets dank
Time measured in erosion's tank
Ocotillo fingers trace the sky
Witness to the years rolling by
No warrant needed for this view
Just sunlight on the red rock hue
Ocotillo witness, true
Agave parryi stands rigid
Century plant, never timid
Opuntia pads catch golden light
Spines glow soft in fading night
Ocotillo fingers trace the sky
Witness to the years rolling by
No warrant needed for this view
Just sunlight on the red rock hue
Ocotillo witness, true
Yucca brevifolia reaches
Joshua trees on sandy beaches
No crimes to solve beneath this rim
Only photosynthesis hymn
Ocotillo fingers trace the sky
Witness to the years rolling by
No warrant needed for this view
Just sunlight on the red rock hue
Ocotillo witness, true
Bouteloua grass sways low
Blue grama where the antelopes go
Trench coat folds on sandstone seat
Retirement tastes bittersweet
Ocotillo fingers trace the sky
Witness to the years rolling by
No warrant needed for this view
Just sunlight on the red rock hue Ocotillo witness, true
Final chord rings, ocotillo witness, true
Dust settles on the dashboard tray
Another day in botanist's sway
