Marc Cohn - Lost You in The Canyon lyrics

Got your call from California but I could hardly hear your voice

through the hissing of the highway and all that other noise.

You said "I might lose you in the canyon", then you went riding up the coast,

now all these things we leave unspoken seem to haunt me like a ghost.

[Chorus]

I lost you in the canyon, guess you tried to let me know.

Lost you in the canyon, a long, long time ago.

Lost you in the canyon, brother you fade out slow.

[Verse 2]

There were times I thought I knew you before these changes came to pass,

but you don't think about it, do you, from up there in your house of glass?

The Earth is shifting underneath you, the land is sliding all around.

Do you ever stop to wonder about that paradise you've found?

[Chorus]

I lost you in the canyon, guess you tried to let me know.

Lost you in the canyon, a long, long time ago.

Lost you in the canyon, brother you fade out slow.

[Verse 3]

I hear you moving through the mountains, through the fires and the floods,

but I can't fix this bad connection in the wires or the blood.

[End-Chorus]

I lost you in the canyon, guess you tried to let me know.

Lost you in the canyon, a long, long time ago.

Lost you in the canyon, brother you fade out, brother you fade out slow.
