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
