Man Walks Among Us
Marty Robbins
Warm are the winds
on the desert
A whirlwind is dancing around
I stop to survey
all the beauty that's here
When a shadow moves out
cross the ground
It's an eagle that
circles above me
And he screams to
his friends on the hill
Stay close together
move not a feather
Man walks among us
be still be still
Man walks among us be still
Everything hides
but I see them
I've spotted an
old mother quail
I look close and see
looking right back at me
The eyes of
a young cottontail
I see a coyote sneaking
As he crawls through
the brush on the hill
And the eagle screams down
Stay close to the ground
Man walks among us
be still be still
Man walks among us be still
Twenty feet high
in the side of a cactus
I see a hole where
the butcher bird stays
If mortals could choose
and if heaven should ask us
Here's where I'd want to
spend all of my days
Soon will be gone
all the desert
Cities will cover each hill
Today will just
be a fond memory
Man walks among us
be still be still
Man walks among us be still
