Ron Nigrini

when the eagle looks to ground
when the desert sky is red
sundown.
high black mountain in the stars
wild voices in crysong
moonrise.

and my heart begins to fall
my steps begin to wonder
why i'm here

but i know i'll be alright
when i surrender tonight.

call the hunter from his dream
wake the land of all her song
sunrise.

and my heart begins to pound
my steps begin to wander
to the sun

and i know i'll be alright
when i surrender tonight.

(1971)
