Desert Lullabies Don't Have to Be Played on Guitars (A Closing) - Rich Aucoin

A stormy sky on a desert night

It’s a twilight surrender

The heavy blows and the sun strip foes (?)

In this together

I don’t look back as a matter of fact

Because it’s no good to ponder

The night has come, and the stone has spun

And is no longer

The whistle ball (?) and a far-off call (?)

The wind has blown, and the sand has sown

Wept forever (?)

A (?) died just to put up a fight

That is too hard to conquer

The sun-dried bones and the deep dark tones

Gave up to darker

I knew I had to go there

And you could not come

I knew I had to go there

And when I found the dirt and wrote

I knew that I had found the place

From where I had always run

But now we knew, thanks to you

Where the path leads to

And on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on
