I left my mark and dust on a road that'd been too long. Boots wore thin, my hands grew rough, and the moon kept moving on. Fence posts fade behind me now, creek beds dry and split apart. I've been hauling all my years like a sack of broken parts. Now the canyon's in my hands and the night leans close to sea. Every mile I had to lose led me here, eventually. At the edge of the canyon, I can breathe again. At the edge of the canyon, it all makes sense. That long dirt road finally let me go. At the edge of the canyon, I am home. There were storms that tore my map, there were suns that burned me bare. I kept talking to the dark like somebody might be there. But I learned the weight I carry wasn't meant to last forever. Every scar on these old boots took me further, took me better. Now the canyon's in my hands and the night leans close to sea. Every mile I had to lose led me here, eventually. At the edge of the canyon, I can breathe again. At the edge of the canyon, it all makes sense. That long dirt road let me go. At the edge of the canyon, let it rise. Let the whole world testify. I was bent, I was worn. But I made it through the storm. Hear them sing, hear them ring. Every broken faithful thing. Now the long road falls away and I'm standing here today. At the edge of the canyon, I can breathe again. At the edge of the canyon, it all makes sense. That long dirt let me go. At the edge of the canyon. At the edge of the canyon, I can breathe again. At the edge of the canyon, it all makes sense. That long dirt road, that long dirt let me go. At the edge of the canyon. I struck that match in the dusk by the wagon and the stone. Held my hands from the wind as the canyon cooled to blue. My old hand shook just once. Then the flame took hold for me. And I watched it kiss the night like a secret I could keep. Blue fire fade slow. Blue fire fade low. Down, down, down where the cold winds go. Blue fire fade slow. Blue fire fade low. One last red breath. Then the dark takes hold. Sparks climbed up my coat sleeve like they knew the way to go. Past the rim and out of sight, past the jackrabbits below. The ridge was turning black and the stars lit one by one. I pulled a long hard drag like I owed the sky my lungs. Blue fire fade slow. Blue fire fade low. Down, down, down where the cold winds go. Blue fire fade slow. Blue fire fade low. One last red breath. Then the dark takes hold. I have seen that same old glow in a hundred different towns. But this one by the canyon wall was the quietest one around. It told me good and plain, all bright things fold away. So I sat and let it go to the night and to the clay. Blue fire fade slow. Blue fire fade low. Down, down, down where the cold winds go. Blue fire fade slow. Blue fire fade low. One last red breath. Then the dark takes hold. Rode by that diner with the paint all peeled. A window full of dust and the gravel I have healed. My hands on the wheel like they know my name. One leather circle, same old road, same flame. That sign kept stuttering. Red then blue then gone. Like a porch light calling and the whole world moved on. Flicker diner hold me slow. Flicker diner let me know. That some old things still glow when the rest just go. Flicker diner down the lane. Flicker diner feel my pain. That sign still saying stay a little. No cars in the lot. No coffee left to pour. Just a paper cup blown against the door. I kept both eyes up through the cracked front glass. Saw my younger shadow in the chrome gone past. That sign kept stuttering. Red then blue then gone. Like a porch light calling and the whole world moved on. Flicker diner hold me slow. Flicker diner let me know. That some old things still glow when the rest just go. Flicker diner down the lane. Flicker diner feel my pain. That sign still saying stay a little. And the road went empty and the night rolled in. But that broken neon made me turn again. One more mile, one more burn. Some old ghosts still wait their turn. Flicker diner hold me slow. Flicker diner let me know. That some old things still glow when the rest just go. Flicker diner down the lane. Flicker diner feel my pain. That sign still saying stay a little.
