Lyrics for Desert Raven

Fuzzy way Haze in the assault was awaking The sand was a grayish shade of blue Spirits held desire Were her eyes they did admire The evening that we only thought we knew Further out to see I heard the birds wings over me The vibrations in the air through my ears The sun was rising, slingin' low The day was saddled up to go The desert's lonely nightfall disappear The raven who flies through the desert sky Is wiser then you and me The birds have a peace The stillness asleep And the desert raven he has poetry Close your eyes and fly to let the diamonds make the night And crystal blue will turn to ruby red The plants become a maze under the heavens star hazel Pegasus he gallops over head 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 flows beyond the wave The raven who flies through the desert sky Is wiser then you and me The birds have a peace The stillness asleep And the desert raven he has poetry
