lyrics

The Wastes of N Dakota (47X-104)

Soot hills envy charcoal skies
In the wastes of N Dakota
I think I hear a fury
In the canyon

Gravel, glass, and turbine bits
Sandpaper the granite
I’ve seen vits that claim the storm’s the same
From when my Dads were kids


Searched the hills for crevices
A place for us to shelter
Folks have been cast out from here
Since before my memory started


Just then the cyclone crests
Bent as if to greet us
I pointed toward the shadows
On the east side of the hill

The spinning mass unbraided
Ever closer at our backs
I felt its breath hot on my neck
Tempting our surrender


As the great storm swallowed up
The shelf of shale we stood on
We folded ourselves snug into
A space between the boulders
