shifting whispering sands
While prospecting for gold in one of

our western states.

I saw the silent windmills,
D

the crumbling water tanks

The bones of cattle and burrows,

picked clean by buzzards
G

Bleached by the desert sun.
Verse 2

I stumbled over a crumbling buckboard
nearly covered by the sands

And stopping to rest I heard

a tinkling whispering sound

that even though

The wind was quiet the

sand did not lie still.
Verse 3
C
I seemed to be surrounded
D

by a mystery so heavy

And oppressive I

For days and weeks I wandered

aimlessly in this valley
Seeking answers to the many
questions
That raced through my
fevered mind.
Verse 4
D
Where was everyone why the white bones,
the dry wells
G
The barren valley where people
must have lived and died

Finally I could go no farther

my food and water gone
I sat down and buried my face

in my hands and resting thus

I learnt the secret of the shifting

whispering sands.

How I escaped from

the valley I do not know

But now to pay my final

I must tell you what I learned
out there on the desert
C
So many years ago.

In the sunny days and moonlight nights

The coyote's lonely yell.
