The old man said it's in the canyon
It lives up there behind the mountain
(and) Every branch of every pinon tree
Maybe I was just too young then
Too damned smart and way too dumb then
It took me all this time to finally see
Chorus
Everywhere I go
It's underneath my skin
It's more than I can know
And it's always in the wind
Lightning streaks across the desert
I hold you close, wetry to measure
How long 'til the thunder makes the sound
Sometimes it can rain forever
First a drop, and then a river
And sometimes it don't even reach the ground
Chorus
Quaking aspens in the Fall
A song in the morning
A lonely coyote crying at the night
The laughter of a little girl
Dust devils in the distance
Heat waves in the noon day sun
New fallen snow
The smell of her hair
The moon sitting up there on the mesa
Bluffs rising up like ships on the horizon
After the thunder sleeps
Before the wind begins
Chorus
Hozh'q....Hozh'q...
