I was young
You were the one named
Brother rufus
I was gone
When the wind blew
You to dust.
Over the hills
We rose high above our mortal will.
Over mountains crossed before you were lost.
Tierra, I found you 'neath the rattlesnake
Upward I ascend (I think, I try)
For my own sake.
Believe me when I tell you
That my heart is free
What was that you said?
When I scrape the earth
In search of love, hold on until I am dead.
