D Mixolydian Twilight

[Intro]
[Verse]
High canyon walls of clay
The daylight fades away
My golden bees have gone to sleep
In shadows cold and deep
[Verse]
I walk the dusty trail
The desert flowers glow
Your phantom face is very pale
Where mountain breezes blow
[Chorus]
Oh, hear the lonesome sound
Upon the stony ground
I yodel to the sky
As twilight passes by
[Post-Chorus]
Yo-la-ri-o, we spin
Where desert trails begin
Beneath your phantom skin
The dust is settling in
[Verse]
The yellow blossoms bloom tonight
They light the canyon gloom so bright
I carry jars of honey sweet
Across the summer heat
[Verse]
Your whistle calls my name
It drifts across the dry red sand
A flickering orange flame
Above this lonely land
[Chorus]
Oh, hear the lonesome sound
Upon the stony ground
I yodel to the sky
As twilight passes by
[Bridge]
The golden honey starts to slowly drip
I take a tiny sip
And taste your sweet goodbye
Under the heavy desert sky
[Verse]
The glowing canyon weeds
Are scattered like our deeds
They flicker in the dark tonight
Without a single spark of light
[Chorus]
Oh, hear the lonesome sound
Upon the stony ground
I yodel to the sky
As twilight passes by
[Post-Chorus]
Yo-la-ri-o, we spin
Where desert trails begin
Beneath your phantom skin
The dust is settling in
[Outro]
