Is it when the reservoir dries out
And the birds stop flying south
How we gonna know it's time to flee?
If we wait for a rainy day When the
opening sky just seems to say stay
We'll never leave
Standing on the fault line
Waiting for the ground to crack
Just put one foot in front of the other
Friends are moving out of town They
wanna own their own piece of ground
To follow the riverbed for miles You
only need a map when you're a stranger
in the land But I know this place like the back of my
hand Been here
since I was a child
A single tree sends its roots down deep
Drinking up water for a soul to keep on standing
The crust of the earth untouched by life
for centuries The highway signs were fading
Doubling down in the dusty soil Where the
colonies of life unspoiled go on living
Cottonwood piles been petrified Everything
buried in the landslide and it made it
Oh what a sweet discovery And a wise old woman you might be tomorrow
Standing on the fault line Waiting for the ground to crack
Just put one foot in front of the other Standing on the fault line
One or the other
Don't look back
