The Monument Valley Lyrics - Brighter Than Creation's Dark - Drive By Truckers

It's all about where you put the horizon 

Said the Great John Ford to the young man rising 

You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course 

And it helps to have a tall man sitting on the horse 

Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery 

A grasp of the ironic nature of history 

A man turns his back on the comforts of home 

The Monument Valley to ride off alone 

And when the dust all settles and the story is told 

History is made by the side of the road 

By the men and women that can persevere 

And rage through the storm, no matter how severe 

And whether it's a horse or a car or a train 

There's gonna be some fine times and there's gonna be some pain 

In the end it's a silhouette framed by the sun 

And just The Monument Valley when the evening comes 

It's a strong wind blowing on the open range 

It's gonna be beautiful and it's gonna be strange 

It's where to plant the camera and when to say action 

When to print the legend and when to leave the facts in 

And when to turn your back on the comforts of home 

And wander round The Monument Valley alone
