lyrics

Red Earth

Red earth
A day comes and goes
Our westward trail
Is creeping into town

Scarred land
The sound of cars
And even as I am aware
So much is unknown

Red earth
Sometimes days just pass
In searing heat
And songs that make no sense

Two days ago
We sang until we slept
Now we walk without a word
So much is unknown

We walk on meandering roads
By vineyards and olive groves
Towards the sunset coast
The saints stand and we pass them by
Pilgrims, we follow the way
Until we fly home

Red earth
You were waiting at dawn
My memories burn like torchlight
At the start of a day
You quenched my thirst
I was touched by surprise
So much is unknown
