my train of thought
is still in the station
not yet caught
up in association

I see being a living being
is breath-taking.

[B]rosy fingered [F#]dawn
touches the [G#m]mountains all [E]along

as sun crests the horizon
didn't get much rest
but feel so alive an'
so blessed
so blessed
as the sun marches west

of those picturesque birds
flying by
Oh if I could paint a picture with words
of those thick far-west curds
of cloud in the sky
and [A#dim]I don't know
[A#dim]I don't know
[A#dim]I don't know [B]why
