"Road Beyond The View" lyrics

Flowers in the nursery, ram's head floating by
Dead roses for Anita, floating mountains in the sky
One for Arthur in lavender, a nursery of bones
Petals in the desert, a palette of stones

Apples from a broken tree, skulls in the clouds
Green simplicity, unspoken doubts
Underline purple chaos, screaming red from above
Antlers from eternity, dead letters, broken love

We rode beyond the view, far away, nearby
Chased the red clay moon, into the wild-eyed night
Tonight I'm coming home again, from a place I never knew
Black mesa and a dark wind
On the road beyond the view

Looking for another place, on the road past the view
You know I thought I saw your face, far away and close to you
On a canvas, hidden turquoise in a blue larkspur
In the spaces of emptiness I hear the messenger

I want to live beyond the politics, red and blue religion, too
Walk the desert playing pick-up-sticks, solving riddles false and true
Cross of Jesus in the sunset, bleeding heart wasteland
In the cliffs beyond Abiquiu, in a sea of sage and sand

We rode beyond the view, far away, nearby
Chased the red clay moon, into the wild-eyed night
Tonight I'm coming home again, from a place I never knew
Black mesa and a dark wind
On the road beyond the view

Black mesa and a dark wind
On the road beyond the view
