[Verse 1]
Dawn of the day and I find myself alone
I have been here since the dusk
Amongst the stones and the sky and nothing else
Save for some brambles and brush
I used to be with others like me
Dawn of the day and I find myself alone
I’ll perish here without much
[Verse 2]
Just yesterday, the sun in middle sky
Heat and the dust made me blind
So I laid down 'neath a tree and fell asleep
But I awoke to find
Oh I stood to see no one else therе but me…
[Chorus]
In this canyon I’m good as dead
Round I run in frantic strides
‘Nеath the banyan I laid my head
Left behind when the sun made me blind
[Verse 3]
I am so tired, then I hear a sudden sound
Horse and a woman astride
I run to them, and follow as I can
Just then behind then beside
I turned to see someone else there like me
We walk for miles and I am not alone
I’m back where I want to be
[Chorus]
In this canyon was good as dead
Now together I could cry
Please don’t leave me, stay forever
We could be, a group just us three
[Instrumental bridge]
[Verse 4]
But then ahead, a fence across the land
They just go on through the gate
I call to them, but I just have to stand
They travel off as I wait
And now it’s just me, canyon walls all I see
[Chorus]
In this canyon I’m good as dead
Round I run in frantic strides
Neath the banyan I laid my head
Left behind when the sun made me blind
