The Canyons from The Longing by Ed D'Alessandro

The Canyons

By Ed D'Alessandro

Lost in the desert, hot as hell
How long I wandered, no way to tell
Deep in the canyons, no way out
No one hears, when I shout

The sun is blinding, the sky’s too much
Rocks are burning to the touch
I look for shelter, I look for shade
Hot and hungry, so afraid

You pulled me back from the brink
Your kiss was like a long cool drink
I need your love, I need it now
Don’t let me go, don’t let me drop back down
Don’t let me drop back down
Don’t let me drop back down

Walking thirsty, all alone
No one to turn to, nowhere to go
I hear your voice inside my head
The canyons echo with the words we’ve said

You pulled me back…

High on the cliffs, far above
Are you there, or a shadow of our love

You pulled me back…
