Lost You In The Canyon Lyrics - Marc Cohn

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 

Lost you in the canyon 

Guess you tried to let me know 

Lost you in the canyon 

Long, long time ago 

Lost you in the canyon 

Brother, you fade out slow 

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? 

I've lost you in the canyon 

I 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 

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 

Lost you in the canyon 

I 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
