Chris Whitley - Vertical Desert lyrics

I lean back on the sundial Where angels fall; Too late to tell thetime - Yours or mine Now the landscape sestures questions - How does your body climb The latitudes beyond me? Weigh the evenings Silence, science, secrets; The wreckage and the prize - Behind your eyes two could have tasted Visions raised on vacancy and lies And a vertical desert; Where you stand now, Where i will be measured Until we finally field The stations, nations, civilizations Underground Cause now i know the lay of land - Living with the law will come apart If i care enough i will break your heart Under the weight of pleasure until Where we stand aloft At a vertical desert I come back here sometimes Angels fall fireflies ascend out Beyond the aching skyline Reckless distances erupt in intoxication Between the hard And soft of our evaporations. Where we stand aloft At the vertical desert In the curved air of collapse And creation The ballast of chaos and Gravity's liberations
