Waiting For A Chinook

WAITING FOR A CHINOOK -CARY MORIN (BMI)

THE STRANGER IN JUDITH BASIN
JUST A BOY WITH ENDLESS DREAMS
THE CATTLE’S EYES ARE UPON HIM
AS HE SINGS THEM OFF TO SLEEP

IT’S THE CONSTANT OBSERVATION
OF THE SKY AND WHAT IT TOOK
THE WRECKAGE AND DESOLATION
WAITING FOR A CHINOOK

FAR BEYOND DARK NIGHTS AND THE SUN
THE COLOR DRAINS FROM HIS VIEW
WITH A SADDLE FOR A PILLOW
HE READS BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

IT’S THE CONSTANT OBSERVATION
OF THE SKY AND WHAT IT TOOK
THE WRECKAGE AND DESOLATION
WAITING FOR A CHINOOK

TRUE EYES WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
THE SHAPE OF THE DISTANT PAST
THE LIES AND THE TRUTH AND FORGIVENESS MEANDER
IN THE OPEN HAND IN HAND

IT’S THE CONSTANT OBSERVATION
OF THE SKY AND WHAT IT TOOK
THE WRECKAGE AND DESOLATION
WAITING FOR A CHINOOK
