Death Valley

California City is on my right The Panamint Range will soon be in sight Dry lake up ahead smooth and white Everything’s so pretty in the mornin’ light, yeah Stove Pipe Wells, Furnace Creek I’m a lookin’ way up at Telescope Peak Nature pulled off quite a feat The temperature is rising, I like the heat Here we stood when our love was new Here I stand oh my what a view Right there we ran on the sand And played like children hand in hand Say aloud I miss you dear And I wish that you were here Racetrack, Salt Creek, Dante’s view It’s a wonder what a twenty mule team could do And ancient water below here too And all of this beauty makes me think of you, yeah I’m gonna climb Eureka Dune You better take cover here at high noon I timed it right flowers all abloom And I’ll move on but not too soon Here we stood when our love was new Here I stand oh my what a view Right there we ran on the sand And played like children hand in hand Say aloud I miss you dear And I wish that you were here Turn my head, look behind At a place that’s surely one of a kind Where our love had first begun And sprang to life in the Death Valley sun
