[Verse 1]
Red rock staircase
Sky poured open
Boot prints fading
In the dust we stirred
You said "breathe in"
Air tasted ancient
I felt tiny
Every sound a word
[Chorus]
Small in the shadow
Of walls older than time
You laughed
Took my photo
Said "hey
Your hand in mine"
If this is forever
Let the river decide
Small in the shadow
But somehow alive
[Verse 2]
Sun dropped lower
Long
Long edges
Gold on your shoulders
Orange on your smile
We passed strangers
Trading trail mix
Stories
Turned to friends
For a little while
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Rock to rock
Step to step
We learned each other’s pace
Quiet talk
Secret jokes
Echoed off that place
If we ever lose our way
Or drift apart again
I’ll close my eyes
Go back there
And meet you in that canyon
[Chorus]
