Little Hands Lyrics
Winding down the dusty trail
from Cathedral Butte
Walking towards the canyon floor
playing Anasasi flutes.
Eagles flying overhead
beneath the desert sky.
Makes me think of how they lived
many years gone by.
I wander here from time to time
to give my head some space.
Leave the noise and confusion.
Vanish without a trace.
Salt Creek runs through the grass
as you hum that canyon tune.
Brush against the desert sage
just like some sweet perfume
Eight hundred years ago
this canyon was their home.
Eight hundred years ago
they walked through the sand.
Eight hundred years ago
they painted these little hands.
Yes this is the timeless place
that’s seen them come and go.
They packed it up way back when
and drifted on down the road.
The earth, the sun, the moon and the stars.
meant so much back then.
But the years go by and though you try
you can’t bring them back again.

I love this song!
alpine you're a dick
i think thats its pretty obvious that this song is about some civilization that lived a long time ago...but the last part:
"Yes this is the timeless place that’s seen them come and go. They packed it up way back when and drifted on down the road. The earth, the sun, the moon and the stars. meant so much back then. But the years go by and though you try you can’t bring them back again."
reminds me of growing up and losing innocence. just what i think though....
Kang's violin solo in the "A String Cheese Incident" version is so peaceful and just out of this world. I cant help but find my head flying off to this higher place...up in the sky somewhere...very spiritual.
