10. NAKED AND AMAZED   Words & Music © Ken Dunn  SOCAN, ASCAP

The hawk it circled in its shadow, and I felt so all alone

As I squinted in the sunlight, supported only by these bones

And the last I could remember, was how it felt to be alive

And the way we sought forever, in these skies

One by one I saw them falling, from the hills above the town

And I could not keep from crying, as they cut the giants down

And the last I could remember, was the city’s breath-like pain

Blowing on a yellow jet-stream, falling in the rain

Breathe in deep the black and acrid, full five hundred miles away

Giving thanks for those low levels, in our children as they play

And the last I could remember, I was choking in a haze

As the silence did approach us, in the final days

Turn my arms to leafy branches, root my feet in soil deep

May the love of all creation, keep our souls from restless sleep

And the last I could remember, was the final condo craze

And the way we stood so naked and amazed
