lyrics

BLACK RAVEN

black raven
white skull bone
on the side of the road
between here and Raton

they say
New Mexico's an ashtray
but my Georgia loved it best
her hands were worn out West

and there are many secrets in the ground
and i can only see them
cuz there's nothin' much around

roots that clutch
branches that grow
many things you cannot say
for you only know

smell of rain
but it never hits the stone
that old river carved a ribbon to the sea
and the road followed

and it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes
and i can only hope for
that same meandering return

and now that bird on high is circling
over an old scaffold of a sign
and the sun is sinking low
and i got somewhere to go

black raven
white skull bone
on the side of the road
between here and Raton
