Burial Rituals
Side of the highway
Scorching sun
Waiting for someone
Someone to come along
And each reflection
Every distant shimmer
Lights another hope
A tiny little glimmer
A-hoooo
A-hoooo
I mine the earth
For hidden treasure
Silver and dreams
Turned into novel little pleasure
My hands they tremble
And my mind strays
I'm not the man that I
I was in better days
Yah-Hey
Yah-Hey
Oh Changing Woman
Why have you let us burn
This dream we've lived
Has ended now
but this world
Still turns
Are these blasted lands
These cracked, empty hands
These burial rituals
All that we have learned
Yah-Hey
When day is done
It's never quite enough
Our towering shadows
Float home through the dust
Coyote comes
Throws his stars into the sky
Dinetah calls
A mournful cry
Yah-hey
Yah-hey
Oh Changing Woman
Why have you let us burn
This dream we've lived
Has ended now
but this world
Still turns
Are these blasted lands
These cracked, empty hands
These burial rituals
All that we have learned
Are these blasted lands
These cracked and empty hands
These burial rituals
All that we have learned?
Yah-hey
Yah-hey
Ah-ooo
Ah-ooo
Scorching sun
Waiting for someone
Someone to come along
And each reflection
Every distant shimmer
Lights another hope
A tiny little glimmer
A-hoooo
A-hoooo
I mine the earth
For hidden treasure
Silver and dreams
Turned into novel little pleasure
My hands they tremble
And my mind strays
I'm not the man that I
I was in better days
Yah-Hey
Yah-Hey
Oh Changing Woman
Why have you let us burn
This dream we've lived
Has ended now
but this world
Still turns
Are these blasted lands
These cracked, empty hands
These burial rituals
All that we have learned
Yah-Hey
When day is done
It's never quite enough
Our towering shadows
Float home through the dust
Coyote comes
Throws his stars into the sky
Dinetah calls
A mournful cry
Yah-hey
Yah-hey
Oh Changing Woman
Why have you let us burn
This dream we've lived
Has ended now
but this world
Still turns
Are these blasted lands
These cracked, empty hands
These burial rituals
All that we have learned
Are these blasted lands
These cracked and empty hands
These burial rituals
All that we have learned?
Yah-hey
Yah-hey
Ah-ooo
Ah-ooo
