lyrics

I would have come to the canyon to cry
To wash tears from our cheeks
To wash years from our lives
Such sorrows are held there
So much noise is quelled there
Out where the horizon's spread wide

If the world wasn't sick
If we didn't have to hide
I would have come to the canyon
To bury what's died

The who that was one-half of us
Is less than one-half of me now
For one, you don't own me
And two, you don't owe me
And three, there's more what than there's why

If the world wasn't sick
If we didn't have to hide
I would have come to the canyon
To bury what's died

Oh, Guadeloupe
To be a reveler at your party
To dance beneath your skirts and climb
To soak the shelter of your shadow
And touch the life of another time
The stone, the palm trees, and the vine

Oh, Guadeloupe
To be a reveler at your party
To dance beneath your skirts and climb
To soak the shelter of your shadow
To touch the life of another time
The stone, the palm trees, and the vine

The West Village landscapes do all that they can
To make us feel better about changing our plans
The divine in perspective
The beauty in hand
That lights empty benches of Manhattanhenge

As alone as I am
I crave time by myself
The pursuit of my mind, body, spirit, and health
Rank top of the list
So selfish, so twisted
The reasons for how I've behaved
That what I want may itself be the cave

I would have come to the canyon
To bury what's died
I would have come to the canyon
To bury what's died

It's often been spoken about how we've been broken
But now the horizon's spread wide
A new tale may be told in the wild
