The landscape is barren, the sky is solid white
And the colors of my memory are dull by let-in light
And the roadrunner runs across the barren ground
Beneath the desert trees are jagged rocks
No sound of the water in the stillness does he touch
The stone yields no path for the root
Migratory birds on flight to southern lands
Escaping through mirages are swallowed by the sand
And the roadrunner runs across the barren ground
Beneath the desert trees are jagged rocks
No sound of the water in the stillness does he touch
The stone yields no path for the root
To the north lies country unexplored and deep
There sleeps the mountain king by the garden that he keeps
But the roadrunner runs across the barren ground
Beneath the desert trees are jagged rocks
No sound of the water in the stillness does he touch
The stone yields no path for the root
My mind, it wanders north to the country unexplored
And i cannot remember if I've ever dreamed before
And the roadrunner runs across the barren ground
Beneath the desert trees are jagged rocks
No sound of the water in the stillness does he touch
The stone yields no path for the root
Upon the river landing, where once lived the ferryman
Deserted shade of mountains at the edge of wasted land
Where the roadrunner runs across the barren ground
Beneath the desert trees are jagged rocks
No sound of the water in the stillness does he touch
The stone yields no path for the root
I crossed the river wide, I leave the boat upon the shore
And I wander in the garden for two lifetimes or more
But the roadrunner runs across the barren ground
Beneath the desert trees are jagged rocks
No sound of the water in the stillness does he touch
The stone yields no path for the root
