Outside my window lies the canyon
Red and turquoise, orange and blue
Wandering through the painted desert
Like some bewildered drunken fool
The Colorado deep within her
Cuts and rolls and sings and plays
Waterfalls and purple rainbows
In her mists of silver haze
Once I knew a man who traveled
Down her waters every day
Made his living guiding strangers
Where his shadows knew the way
On the borders of the rivеr
Lit the fires and smoked thе pipes
Told the travelers all his stories
Dared the men to win the prize
White with foam the water danced
Over rocks and under skies
Blue with summer, drenched in rain
Faster than I realized
He was hard about his work
Soft about the columbines
Spoke about Apache friends
Missed the years of silver mines
Red and turquoise, orange and blue
Wandering through the painted desert
Like some bewildered drunken fool
The Colorado deep within her
Cuts and rolls and sings and plays
Waterfalls and purple rainbows
In her mists of silver haze
Once I knew a man who traveled
Down her waters every day
Made his living guiding strangers
Where his shadows knew the way
On the borders of the rivеr
Lit the fires and smoked thе pipes
Told the travelers all his stories
Dared the men to win the prize
White with foam the water danced
Over rocks and under skies
Blue with summer, drenched in rain
Faster than I realized
He was hard about his work
Soft about the columbines
Spoke about Apache friends
Missed the years of silver mines
