It is gusty tonight,
as the fiery sun sinks into
the western mountains
Stars flood heavens deep
The ancient desert sings
The voice of the mountain
wails through the pinion
singing with the streams of
yellow grass and sage
The basin below
is cold and dusty
The mountain wind moves all night
The Coyotes run the midnight hills
yipping and howling
in the heart of this resistant land
Never to be taken!
Nothing is controlled
Nothing can rob the
soul of the wild
