Judy Collins

Arizona
I danced in the desert when I was but twenty I sang to mirages, made love to the wind I climbed the blue ridges above the red sunsets I walked and I wandered, I prayed and I sinned I drank from the springs where the secrets were hidden I spoke with the healers, knelt under their wings My heart hollowed out to a whistling whisper That spoke to me only of winter and spring Arizona of starlight and tumbleweed Where antelope climb the ravine You healed all the wounds that were hidden And left them for all to be seen The chimes in the wind and the songs in the twilight The feel of soft sand and the fingers of dawn The feathers of light in the windows of heaven The hush of their songs as they climbed and were gone Back here in the desert I see myself flying Out of the canyons where I was so free Gathering speed as I raced to tomorrow Remembering the songs of the wind and the sea Arizona of starlight and tumbleweed Letras de cancionesWhere antelope climb the ravine You healed all the wounds that were hidden And left them for all to be seen Where all of the dreams of the searchers are hidden Where all of the shards of the broken hearts bleed I wait in the dawn for the hand I was given Before I could know where the canyons would lead The colors still shimmer like silk in the water No matter how far my heart flies My dark years are gone and the old dreams move on But I see the moonlight still clear in your eyes The love of my life came late in the journey The promise, the jewel, the prize And now on the desert the cactus are blooming Their colors light up the wide skies Arizona of starlight and tumbleweed Where antelope climb the ravine You healed all the wounds that were hidden And left them for all to be seen I ride along now to the dawn on the mesa That shows me the cactus that waits in repose Flowering only in spring like the lilies Blossoming after the blizzards and snows And I can see clearly the promise they made me When raising their eyes to the dawn That none of the magic is done That everything sings and moves on And all that's forgiven is gone Arizona of starlight and tumbleweed Where antelope climb the ravine You healed all the wounds that were hidden And nothing forgiven is gone Where all of the dreams of the searchers are hidden Where all of the shards of the broken hearts lay I wait in the dawn for the hand I was given And finally I knew what the canyons would say You must fly from the winter to May You must fly from the past into today From Letras Mania
