Dead Horse Ranch State Park Lyrics

We will drive north a ways to Dead Horse Ranch State Park

And we'll set up our blankets and chairs

And whittle away at the few remaining afternoon hours

We'll sit patiently and we'll stare into the infinite distance

At home with our bodies and we'll know what they knew

The ancient sages in a centerless universe

We are each centers; our eyes make horizons

From our perch at the top of the mountain

We'll hear the mules braying

And the leather of bats as they hunt in the expanding darkness

I won't say much, but if you wanna talk, I won't mind

As it appears in its mystic splendor

That ocean of crystalline spheres

At home in the passage of time

Harken to ancient patterns and signs

They're much like we are

Shapes of light in a void beyond mind

We'll watch the stars

We'll watch the stars

We'll watch the stars

We'll watch them!
