Got your call from California

But I could hardly hear your voice

Through the hissing of the highway

And all that other noise

You said "I might lose you in the canyon"

Then you went riding up the coast

Now all these things we leave unspoken

Seem to haunt me like a ghost



CHORUS:

I lost you in the canyon

Guess you tried to let me know

Lost you in the canyon

A long, long time ago

Lost you in the canyon

Brother you fade out slow



There were times I thought I knew you

Before these changes came to pass

But you don't think about it do you?

From up there in your house of glass

The Earth is shifting underneath you

The land is sliding all around

Do you ever stop to wonder

About that paradise you've found?



CHORUS



I hear you moving through the mountains

Through the fires and the floods

But I can't fix this bad connection

In the wires or the blood



CHORUS
