Mountain Jumper |
When I’m walking alone in the night I see the green coyote in the distance |
Strolling in the desert long beneath the crescent moon |
In the boomerang action of the noon gang I climb the hills and I wonder |
Thunder and the lightning falls into a barren zone |
Maybe someone saw me in the forest last Wednesday night, I don’t know. |
I visit all the time but then again I try to not to be seen, in the green. |
'Cause I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night. |
I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night. |
I look at the bones, purplish tones, across the valley painted by the sage |
brush |
Driest open prairie waiting for the fallen stars. |
On a rock edge hanging off a steep ledge I climb on down into an oak tree |
Rolling in it’s twisted limbs I float above the ground |
Running from a rolling angry tumbleweed down a hill, in the wind |
Sliding on the gravelly traveling avalanches on the slope, in the plain |
'Cause I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night. |
I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night. |
On the high ground, shaken by a low sound, the desert looming in the |
distance |
Looking at the sunlight dying through the blackened ridge |
Water out of nowhere, flying through the air, I see the tidal wave and I’m |
under |
Holding in my breath I sink into the desert sea |
Swimming through the turning and churning into the afternoon sun, up above |
Floating river canyon abandoned by sand and heat and all the rocks, on the |
plain |
'Cause I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night |
I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night. |
I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night. |
I’m a mountain jumper, when I ride the night… |
