Man Walks Among Us Lyrics - 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
