Hualapai Mountain

You may go there like you pray
Don't look back or ask the way
The door is open, you're always welcome
Come whole, come broken
Come anyway
Walk on past your youth, it's over
Sling your pack across your shoulder
Walk the old road, stick your thumb out
Stars are watching, see them come out
One night older
Travel till you reach the desert
Full and empty, wide as ever
Cactus with his withered wife
Snakes and lizards cling to life
In love forever
Take a room, they're cheap out here
Motel coffee, barroom beer
Climb the hillside, rest your weight
On the cross of love and hate
Have no fear
Wind comes walking, whispers low
"I take you everywhere I go.
Wandering on the dizzy heights
Weaving through your sleepless nights
I know you know
I know you know"
