El Camino
Lyrics and music copyright © 1987 John Ziegler

There is a man who is climbing up from the valley
He's not alone there's a woman holding his hand
He's on the road that started deep in the valley
They're climbing up and up the woman and man

Oh come back cry the neighbors, please come back
Don't leave us cry the neighbors, please come back

The sun is high, they reach the clear shallow water
Living a language no-one else ever heard
Turn around one drinks the eyes of the other
Into the air a song revealing the word

Oh come back cry the neighbors, down below
Don't leave us cry the neighbors, long ago

There is a child who is growing up in the valley
Hearing the stories about the woman and man
One day the child will rise from the valley
One day a woman takes him by the hand
