Far From Any Road

[Verse 1: Brett Sparks] From the dusty mesa Her looming shadow grows Hidden in the branches Of the poison creosote She twines her spines up slowly Towards the boiling sun And when I touched her skin My fingers ran with blood [Verse 2: Rennie Sparks] In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom A strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand [Bridge: Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks] When the last light warms the rocks And the rattlesnakes unfold Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones [Verse 3: Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks] And rise with me forever Across the silent sand And the stars will be your eyes And the wind will be my hands
