Camel Rock

album: Camel Rock (1995), track 4 of 13
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

Gravity's so much lighter today
Going to make my getaway
I am on my way to Camel Rock
The only lord here is the landlord
We know who he's in it for
Nobody listens to me here when I talk

Time just kind of slips away here
Days they come and they disappear
I'm running down like a worn-out clock
'Been here long enough to know
My home's in New Mexico
Living in the shadow of Camel Rock
 CHORUS
   Into the vista
   Panoramas all around
   Out in the distance
   Room enough to turn around
What kind of music do you hear sweet Lisa
When the morning sun hits the chamisa
Do you hear a concerto by Bach
Do you hear the darkness falling
Can you feel the Southwest calling
Do you hear the rhythms of Camel Rock
 CHORUS
I'm leaving all my hang-ups in the closet
I'm kissing off the damage deposit
Who'll be there now to hear opportunity knock
Not me no I'm on my way
Running along the Rio Grande
Running the river down to you and Camel Rock
 CHORUS
