Lyrics
Arizona
© 2004 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP
There was a time when
I?d ?a been
Thrilled, thrilled at the sight
Of a desert mountain
Canyon
Or rimrock twilight
Oh have I been
Gone too long then
Or why am I preoccupied
By all my thoughts of late
How they vindicate
And threaten to steal the sky
Steal the sky
I?d give anything to be taken aback by what I see
But all this nothing I feel, well I believe it has taken me
All the miles of Arizona highway
Couldn?t persuade you to go along with my way
And all the clouds in all their finery
Couldn?t convince me to see the silver lining
Oh I?ve gotta let it go, let it all go again
No I won?t cry but maybe the sky, the sky will open
And I?ll feel the rain on my skin
My my my
I was alone in
One brief moment
Of thought that couldn?t be my own
Oh mindless
In the desert silence
I was brought closer to home
I?ve been grasping
At too many things
Like ends of frayed swinging ropes
And had forgotten
That at the bottom
Lay you and all of my hope
Well I?m far too young
To be among
The jaded, a cynical girl
Oh a victim of
And at the mercy of
The intellectual world
I want to know how I can get through
Back to the place I belong with you
Back to the road I thought I knew
Was I wrong
Was I wrong
Well I was wrong
