Lyrics

[00:07] Red cannas in the sky
[00:11] Red cannas in the sky
[00:16] I didn't think about it at the time
[00:24] I didn't think about it at the time
[00:30] But in the desert
[00:36] I think I was trying to write to Georgia O'Keeffe
[00:49] Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia
[00:58] Like Joni Mitchell writes to Amelia Earhart
[01:04] When she is driving, driving, driving in the desert
[01:12] As if a song can communicate with the spirits or waken the dead
[01:25] I mean, isn't that what it's for?
[01:32] I mean, isn't that what it's for?
[01:40] I mean, isn't that what it's for?
[01:56] Awaken the dead
[01:59] I was but wasn't quite writing
[02:06] I spotted six red cannas
[02:13] As I was driving towards Ghost Ranch
[02:19] In the north of New Mexico
[02:25] New, New, New, New, New, New, New mexico
[02:32] New, New, New, New, New, New, New mexico
[02:41] I've never seen them
[02:44] Red cannas in the sky
[02:47] Red cannas in the sky
[02:54] Like they were tearing up there heavens, opening the zipper
[03:07] To let loose all kinds of spirits
[03:14] And you know
[03:15] There used to be an ocean here
[03:21] We used to be all underwater
[03:29] We used to be all underwater
[03:35] We used to be all underwater
[03:43] We used to be all underwater
[03:46] The ocean
[03:49] We used to be all underwater
[03:53] The ocean
[03:57] We used to be all underwater
