Got your call from California   but I could hardly hear your voice
  through the hissing of   the highway   and all that other noise.
You said   "I might lose you in the   canyon",   then you went riding up the coast,
  now all these things we leave unspoken   seem to haunt me like a   ghost.
 
[Chorus]
I lost you in the canyon,   guess you tried to let me know.
Lost you in the canyon,   a long, long time ago.
Lost you in the canyon,   brother you fade out slow.
 
 
[Verse 2]
  There were times I thought I knew you   before these changes came   to pass,
  but you don't think about it,   do you,   from up there in your house   of glass?
  The Earth is shifting underneath you,   the land is sliding all   around.
  Do you ever stop   to wonder   about that paradise   you've found?
 
[Chorus]
I lost you in the canyon,   guess you tried to let me know.
Lost you in the canyon,   a long, long time ago.
Lost you in the canyon,   brother you fade out slow.
 
 
[Verse 3]
  I hear you moving through   the mountains,   through the fires and   the floods,
  but I can't fix this bad   connection   in the wires or   the blood.
 
[End-Chorus]
I lost you in the canyon,   guess you tried to let me know.
Lost you in the canyon,   a long, long time ago.
Lost you in the canyon,   brother you fade out, brother you fade out slow.
