about
High Desert Emmaline is a song about getting older and reflecting on an adventurous life that's left one weathered and battered, but still admired by fellow travelers. Josh and Lewis wrote this one afternoon during the pandemic, loosely as a tribute to a friend, complete with 1970's references and nod to Sin City.
lyrics
High Desert Emmaline
Where I am again nobody cares or knows
Wonderin’ how I lost these years
Over this mountain, the Colorado river flows
I wish this rock could dam my tears
Sunshine or the neon lights, whichever one is on
Squint your eyes and she might be gone
If you see her, you’ll know what I mean
Sweet Emmaline
In her dreams, a silver streak she glides
Sweet Emmaline
In the glass, I see the valleys on my face
They testify to all my fears
I won’t break, I’m strong and to my freedom I’ll be placed
By a jury of peers
Sunshine or the neon lights, or whichever one is on
Squint your eyes and I might be gone
If you see her, you’ll know what I mean
Sweet Emmaline
In her dreams, a silver seed she flies
Sweet Emmaline
BRIDGE
If you see her, you’ll know what I mean
Sweet Emmaline
In her dreams, a silver streak she glides
Sweet Emmaline
If you see her, you’ll know what I mean
Sweet Emmaline
In her dreams, a silver seed she flies
Sweet Emmaline
