Just a melancholy echo,
Lingering when the day is through,
It's the call of the canyon,
Once again I'm dreaming of you.


Every night I search the moonlight,
Up and down the river shore,
It's the call of the canyon,
Maybe I will find you once more.


Standing there alone by the ashes
Of the fire we said would never die,
Will I ever find an ember,
Burning from the days gone by?


Then I hear a lonely whisper
As a little spark I see,
It's the call of the canyon,
Bringing back your answer to me.


Standing there alone by the ashes
Of the fire we said would never die,
Will I ever find an ember,
Burning from the days gone by?


Then I hear a lonely whisper
As a little spark I see,
It's the call of the canyon,
Bringing back your answer to me.
