Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Sun bleeds down on a cracked dirt road

My shadow drags slow across the sand

Something moves beneath the rock

Something patient something grand

It hums a low and rusty hymn

Warm as blood and thick as tar

Chorus

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

Down where the old ones wait and lie

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

I give my bones I give my eye

Verse 2

I walked out past the fence line

Past the well that never gave

A voice like gravel in my ear

Said crawl inside the cave

Crawl inside and shut your mouth

Let the heat do what it does

Chorus

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

Down where the old ones wait and lie

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

I give my bones I give my eye

Bridge

Slow burn slow burn

Everything returns

Slow burn slow burn

Everything returns

Verse 3

Coyotes know my name by now

They call it out at dusk

I answer with a mouthful of dirt

And a belly full of rust

The mesa keeps a ledger

And it writes me in the stone

Chorus

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

Down where the old ones wait and lie

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

I give my bones I give my eye

Breakdown

Crawl

Crawl

Crawl

Home

Chorus

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

Down where the old ones wait and lie

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

I give my bones I give my eye

Verse 4

Sand fills up the hollow places

Sand fills up the words I knew

Something in the ground is breathing

Something in the ground is new

I have been out here so long

I forgot which one is me

Chorus

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

Down where the old ones wait and lie

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

I give my bones I give my eye

Verse 5

Forty days of standing still

Forty nights of chewing stone

The heat came up and took my voice

And left a ringing in the bone

Now I hum the way it hums

Low and long and out of tune

Bridge

Slow burn slow burn

Everything returns

Slow burn slow burn

Everything returns

(Slow burn)

Verse 6

If you find my boots out here

Leave them where the lizard sleeps

I am not the man who walked

I am what the desert keeps

Tell the coyotes I said thanks

Tell the mesa I said yes

Chorus

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

Down where the old ones wait and lie

Down where the red dust swallows the sky

I give my bones I give my eye
