Far From Any Road (Be My Hand)

From the dusty mesa
 Her looming shadow grows
 Hidden in the poison creosote
 In the hushing dusk
 Under a swollen silver moon
 I came walking with the wind
 To watch the cactus bloom
 She twines her spines up slowly
 Toward the boiling sun
 And when I touched her skin
 My fingers ran with blood
 Oh, rise with me forever
 Across the silent sands
 And the stars will be your eyes
 And the wind will be my hand, will be my hand
 ♪
 A strange hunger haunted me
 The looming shadows danced
 I fell down to the thorny brush
 And felt a trembling hand
 And when the last light warms the rocks
 And the rattlesnakes unfold
 Cats will come to drag away your bones
 She twines her spines up slowly
 Toward the boiling sun
 And when I touched her skin
 My fingers ran with blood
 Oh, rise with me forever
 Across the silent sands
 And the stars will be your eyes
 And the wind will be my hand, will be my hand
