[Verse 1]
[Am]I da[G]nced[Am] in [G]the[Am]
desert when [F]I was but twenty
[Dm]I sang to mirages, made [Em]love to the wind
I [Am]climbed up the ridges [F]above
the red sunsets
[Dm]I walked and I wandered,
I [Em]prayed and [F]I sinned
[Am]I drank from the

[Verse 2]
springs where the
secret[F]s were hidden
[Dm]I spoke with the healers,
knelt un[Em]der their wings
My [Am]heart hollowed out to
a whist[F]ling whisper
[Dm]That spoke to me only of
win[Em]ter and s[F]pring

[Verse 3]
Ari[C]zona of starlight [G]and tumbleweed
Where [C]antelope climb the rav[G]ine
You [Am]healed all the wounds
that [Em]were hidden
And [F]left them [G]for all to be [F]seen

[Verse 4]
The [Am]chimes in the wind and the
[F]songs in the twilight
[Dm]The feel of soft sand and the
[Em]fingers of dawn
[Am]The feathers of light in the
[F]windows of heaven
The [Dm]hush of their songs as they
[Em]climbed and were [F]gone[Gsus4]
[Am]Back here in the

[Verse 5]
desert, I see [F]myself flying
[Dm]Out of the canyons
where I [Em]was so free
[Am]Gathering speed as I rac[F]ed
to tomorrow
[Dm]Remembering the songs
of the [Em]wind and the [F]sea

[Verse 6]
Ari[C]zona of starlight [G]and tumbleweed
[C]Where antelope climb [G]the ravines
You [Am]healed all the wounds
that were [Em]hid den
And [F]left them for [G]all to be
[F]seen[Gsus4][F]
[Gsus4]Where

[Verse 7]
[C]all of the dreams of the
[G]searchers are hidden
[Am]Where all of the shards of
the [Em]broken hearts bled
I [C]wait in the dawn for the [G]hand I was given
Be[Am]fore I [G]could know where the [F]canyons
[D]would lead

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 8]
The [Am]colors still shimmer
like [F]silk in the water
No [Dm]matter how far my heart [Am]flies[G]
[Em]My dark [Am]years are gone and the
[F]old dreams move on
But [Dm]I see the moonlight
still [Em]clear in your [F]eyes

[Verse 9]
The [Am]love of my life came [F]late in the journey
The [Dm]promise, the jewel, [Em]the prize
And [Am]now on the desert the
[F]cactus are blooming
Their [Dm]colors light up the wide [F]skies
[Gsus4]Ari

[Verse 10]
[C]zona of starlight
[G]and tumbleweed
Where [C]antelope climb [G]the ravine
You [Am]healed all the wounds
that [Em]were hidden
And [F]left them for [G]all to be [F]seen

[Verse 11]
I [Am]ride along now to the [F]dawn on the mesa
That [Dm]shows me the cactus
[Em]that waits in repose
[Am]Flowering only in [F]spring
like the lilies
[Dm]Blossoming after the
[Em]blizzards [F]and snows[G]

[Verse 12]
And [Am]I can see clearly,
the [F]promise they made me
When [Dm]raising their eyes to the [Em]dawn
That [Am]none of the magic is [Em]done[G]
That [F]everything sings and [Em]moves on
That [F]nothing [G]forgiven is [F]gone[G]

[Verse 13]
Ari[C]zona of starlight [G]an d tumbleweed
Where [C]antelope climb the ravine
[G]You hea[Am]led all the wounds
that were [Em]hidden
[F]And left them for all [G]to be seen
[F]

[Verse 14]
Where [C]all of the dreams of the
[G]searchers are hidden
[Am]Where all of the shards
of the [Em]broken hearts lay
I [C]wait in the dawn for the [G]hand I was given
And [Am]fi nally,
I [G]know [F]what the canyons [Dm]would say[D][Am]
You must [G]fly from win[F]ter to [D]May
[Am]You must[G] fly from the past[C]
[F]into [G]today
