Arizona Sky

The stars shone bright... 
under an Arizona sky 
Mesas of red rock stood still, 
bathed in reflected light 

Winds blew, 
winding their way through.... 
Towers of rock.... 
Sighing too 

An opalescent moon rose.... 
In an Arizona sky... 
In a land , the stars chose.... 
For you and I 
Shooting stars fell.. 
Upon monument valley 
Silent whisper of wind 
The red rock stood still 
What they could tell.... 
In the evenings' chill 

Spears of rock, 
pointed to an Arizona sky 
Held up a roof of stars..... 
Watched them pass by 

The red rock grew... 
Right up into the deep blue 
The colour.... 
Like deep red wine.... 
the arizona sky... 
stars too, 
became mine
