Canyon Moon Lyrics - Andrew Mcmahon

The sun ran out on a cold October 

Somewhere under the canyon moon 

Camera jammed in a slow exposure 

California in her rear view 

She couldn't handle another season 

Another ocean of fiction blue 

Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus 

Death Valley and worn out shoes 

Then the road turned into desert everywhere 

The sun ran out on a cold October 

She disappeared, she disappeared 

Take all your troubles, put them to bed 

Burn down the mission, the maps in your head 

Shot like a bullet, don't know the way 

The ricochet, kind of got away from you 

The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing 

Marching band in a high school dream 

Little town and a faded beauty 

They still remember when she was queen 

Then the road turned into desert everywhere 

The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing 

She disappeared, she disappeared
