lyrics

The grass burned gold,
the sun threw pink on blue,
we tossed red and white on the table

Parched thistles rustled in the breeze,
August's slow flow, lapped over rocks,
cottonwoods and mapleleaves

The truck on the hill, on the line
that divides land and sky
out the window, a hand, a wave goodbye

The curtains filled like sails
our house took flight ,white sheets protect us
when there tucked in tight

A slow forgotten rumble,
Mountain Moon on High
the valleys low echo mumbled,
Tonight, Tonight

The truck on the hill, on the line
that divides land and sky
out the window, a hand, a wave goodbye

The house in the rearview mirror,
in the valley were it lie,
from her lips a breath, an exhale, a sigh
