There was god and there was you
A handful of coffee beans
A lilac tree and a dog or two
You felt the song of the earth
Humming in the soles of your feet
And you danced in the turquoise rain
That carved the canyon deep
You are the golden sun in the valley
You are the purple mountains at night
You are the bluebird in the saguaro
A dusty hole where a painting was found
A treehouse in the backwoods
A lonely soldier stands his ground
The rusted keel of a land-locked boat
A blue tarp blowing in the breeze
And I'd have held my tongue forever
If you hadn't made me speak
You are the golden sun in the valley
You are the purple mountains at night
You are the bluebird in the saguaro
I was dragged to the desert
Jet fuel running through my veins
I was howling at the wind
When I heard you call my name
You are the golden sun in the valley
You are the purple mountains at night
You are the bluebird in the saguaro
You are the golden sun in the valley
You are the purple mountains at night
You are the bluebird in the saguaro
