Spirit Wind

So you're driving from the funeral

Through the desert land

You see something moving

In the wind so wild



So you stop the car

And you walk out

To the edge of the sand

And you watch it fly



A wind blown trash bag does a road side ghost dance

In the vast Mojave sky

Like a living spirit just for one full minute

Right when you're passing by



It hovers there up in the air

Up in that twist of dust and wind

The vortex slows, so it goes

Dust to dust again



Whisper those words you heard

"Don't be afraid my friend"

It's more than just dust to dust

You're mostly a spirit wind



Mostly a spirit wind

Dust to dust

Spirit wind

Dust to dust



Is this a sign to change your mind

Tempting you to trust?

Yes, you're bound to die but you're made to fly

Just like that twist of wind and dust



This precious chance to get this dance

To get to live this life and feel

This time and place, amazing grace

The spirit wind is real



Whisper those words you heard

"Don't be afraid my friend"

It's more than just dust to dust

You're mostly a spirit wind



Mostly a spirit wind

Dust to dust

Spirit wind

Dust to dust



Spirit wind

Dust to dust

Spirit wind

Dust
