Grand Canyon

We went to Grand Canyon

And we stood at the expanse

And we watched the rocks change colors

And we watched the shadows dance

And we probably didn't say anything

As the sunset turned to night

We let the spirits do the talking

With cascades of faded light

And we drove across the desert

Saw the mountain range at dawn

Heard the thunder rumbles echo

Against the rocks that Gods were made from

And we drove across thе wastelands

Until we finally reachеd the sea

And I wonder how a life so sturdy

Just one day cease to be

I'm never one to wonder

That the things beyond control

I stare off in the darkness

I'ma feel the highway roll

I feel the highway roll

And we roll on in the darkness

To some city far away

Lug our sorrows, pains and angers

And we turn them into play

There's no time to dwell upon it

It's this life that we chose

That made it all worth living

Through the horrors that life throws

If the recently departed make the sunsets

To say farewell to the ones they leave behind

There were technicolor hues to see our sadness through

As the sun over Athens said goodbye

Said goodbye

Said goodbye

There's a white owl out my window

Soft-lit in fading light

He'll go soaring through the clouds

And go hunting through the night

And in my dreams I'll still can see him

Flying through a western sky

And I'll think about Grand Canyon

And I'll lift my glass and smile

I'll lift my glass and smile

And I'll smile
