Preacher Boy - So the Story Goes

I see a face in the mountain
Two big black eyes
Branches like talons
Under hundred-and-one-degree skies

As the rapids rise, so the eagle flies
Descending
As the river flows, so the story goes
Without ending

I see a bird on the boulder
Coyote mint out of line
Up on the ridge, hangin' over
I see that lone ghost pine

As the rapids rise, so the eagle flies
Descending
As the river flows, so the story goes
Without ending

Found a long white bone
Felt like kneeling
Beneath a grove of madrone
Burnt sienna strips all peeling

As the rapids rise, so the eagle flies
Descending
As the river flows, so the story goes
Never ending

I put my face in the water
The final verse unwritten
The past is over
And the future is yet to happen

As the rapids rise, so the eagle flies
Descending
As the river flows, so the story goes
Never ending
