THE WIND SWEPT DOWN
From Denver to Bovina
I swept up all the birds
From there onto Arriba
the favor was returned
Chorus:
And the wind swept down
all around me
The wind blew down, all around.
White and black the landscape
It was
like a photograph
The road was iced and mounded
with winter at my back~
Chorus:
Saw a tractor trailer
it was
jackknifed in the ditch
Saw another overturned
and prayed for those unhitched
Chorus:
Bridge:
Found my speed at thirty til they
closed that bad boy route
Got behind some semi's totin'
goods to paths down South.
Like a herd of cattle, one by one,
made the bridges
Mosyin' slowly...Found my faith that day
in holy inches.
Chorus:
