Tumbleweed
Tumbleweed
I'm so tired of tumbling down that highway
Like a tumbleweed in the wind
I'm so tired of drifting away
Without the blessings of the canyon sun
A ship upon that desert sea
Sunlight so far away from me
Back where the mountains start to fade
Rolling hills rolling hills rolling hills start again, some oasis
A joker amongst these aces of spades
I'm so tired of a pointed thumb
Deadend beginnings and songs never sung
Words of hesitation upon my tongue
I'm so tired of what has never begun
This other journey back home back home back home
Wild apple blossoms soon take shape
And the ripest fruit start to rot
Buttercups for all my past loves
Even when my tongue's in knots
I'm so tired of giving in without the wild meadows
I'm so tired of concrete for a love
Four years of wandering and I've started to come undone
Come undone come undone come undone
When the sunset leads to the sunrise again
The canyon sun's first ray shines without end.
