Fuzzy white haze in the asphalt was a lake And the sand it was a grayer shade of blue Spirits held desire while my eyes they did admire The evening that we only thought we knew Further out to sea I heard the birds wings over me The Vibrations in the air to my ears The sun was rising slinking low the day was saddled up to go The desert's lonely nightfall disappears The raven who flies through the desert skies Is wiser than you or me The birds have a peace, the stillness a sleeve And the Desert Raven he has poetry Close your eyes and fly to let the diamonds make the night Crystal blue will turn to ruby red The plants become a maze under the heavens stary hazel Pegasus he gallops overhead The buffalo at night they follow close the river's edge while Saffron slowly grows inside the caves The starry minds of hyacinth the moon below the sun's eclipse The sandy canyon floats beyond the waves The raven who flies through the desert skies Is wiser than you or me The birds have a peace, the stillness a sleeve And the Desert Raven he has poetry
