about

This song is my humble attempt to capture the beauty and bliss of the deserts of Nevada and Death Valley. Death Valley is one of my favorite places on Earth and there are often fighter jets practicing maneuvers there.

lyrics

The dried lake bed
The sky is painted purple and red
The climbing and diving of a fighter jet
So delicate in the light of sunset

The rain comes in sheets across the lake
And floods the hard and cracked landscape
And thousands of flowers then do wake
So delicate in the light of day

Chasing the light night after night
The earth draws me near
And night draws the curtain
Rest easy my dear, you belong here
