Desert Raven

[Verse 1]
Fuzzy white haze in the asphalt was a lake
And the sand, it was a grayish shade of blue
Spirits held desire
While my eyes, they did admire
The evening that we only thought we knew

[Verse 2]
Further out to sea
I heard the birds' wings over me
The vibrations in the air through my ears
The sun was rising, slinking low
The day was saddled up to go
The desert's lonely nightfall disappear

[Chorus]
The raven who flies through the desert sky
Is wiser than you or me
The birds have a peace
The stillness a sleeve
And the desert raven, he has poetry

[Verse 3]
Close your eyes and fly to let the diamonds make the night
Crystal blue will turn to ruby red
The plants become a maze under the heaven's starry hazel
Pegasus, he gallops overhead

[Verse 4]
The buffalo at night, they follow close the river's edge while
Saffron slowly grows inside the cage
The starry minds of hyacinth, the moon below the sun's eclipse
The sandy canyon floats beyond the wave

[Chorus]
The raven who flies through the desert sky
Is wiser than you or me
The birds have a peace
The stillness a sleeve
And the desert raven, he has poetry
