Red earth
A day comes and goes
Our westward trail
Is creeping into town
Scarred land
The sound of cars
And even as I am aware
So much is unknown
Red earth
Sometimes days just pass
In searing heat
And songs that make no sense
Two days ago
We sang until we slept
Now we walk without a word
So much is unknown
We walk on meandering roads
By vineyards and olive groves
Towards the sunset coast
The saints stand and we pass them by
Pilgrims, we follow the way
Until we fly home
Red earth
You were waiting at dawn
My memories burn like torchlight
At the start of a day
You quenched my thirst
I was touched by surprise
So much is unknown
