Lyrics
Up on sentinel dome
See the valley below
Eight thousand feet high
Sixty million years old
Up on sentinel dome
Waiting for the moonrise
Eating crackers and cheese
And drinking red wine
Up on sentinel dome
There's an old Jeffrey pine
It died in a drought
And fell over in time
Up on sentinel dome
I dragged Mike on a hike
To distract from the pain
Weighing on his mind
Up on sentinel dome
You can see for miles
See the Milky Way
On a dark clear night
In a Miwok tongue
It had a different name
Till some white folk came
And took it away
Ain't that a shame
Up on "Sak'-ka-du-eh" (c.f., Powers, 1877)
