Diamond Road from Totem by Utah Green

the wind oh the wind is mumbling again
i stand like a tree
i want to go home though i have never been before
i am falling and crawling on my knees

and you were standing there all dressed in blue and white
like the wind had reached her end
i am following the days into the night
well the story came to bend

(chorus)
i cannot put my finger on it
i cannot find out where
i saw the road had diamonds on it
and i saw you standing there

i am turning into music and i disappear
like a train sound in the distance
blessed be the way that is becoming so clear
i shall give you no resistance

i wonder do i know what lies before me
i am thinking about the past
ancestors are myself and thee
and i am speaking of the message they cast

chorus

passionately staring with quiet eyes
pacing as the stones reply
you have not thought of everything you have not known it all
for everything and all of it have seen the standing wall

i walk along onto this trepid line
colors all gray and green
momentary lapse of wandering
all of my thoughts to be seen

it has been 1000
since we danced upon the moon
you drank up all my salty tears
and caught the stars with a spoon

i had me a waking the other night
all the trees turned into hands
the sky was on fire just a memory of time
curiosity helps me to stand
