lyrics

Canyon Walls (© 2011 Paul Lilley)

Sun is hitting the walls above my head
Ground is freezing now I think I‟ll stay here in bed
Water‟s red now carving these walls to bleed
Slowly pulling all this life downstream

But these walls, yeah these walls
They‟re surrounding me
And these walls, yeah these walls
Will they fall on me?

Sun is risen but I still can‟t see
These canyon walls are closing in around me
The air gets warmer now the heat‟s more than I can bear
Water‟s freezing no, no chance of swimming here

But these walls, yeah these walls
They‟re surrounding me
And these walls, canyon walls
Will they fall on me?

Sun is setting, spilling light around me
These canyon walls are burning beauty
But these walls, yeah these walls
They‟re surrounding me

And these walls, canyon walls
Will they fall on me?
And these walls, canyon walls
They won‟t fall on me
And these walls, canyon walls
Now they‟re guiding me
