Desert Hallelujah

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down in the desert, the morning ran cold A white flag folded where the banners used to hold Skates went silent on the ice that night And the whole old crowd knew something wasn’t right [Pre-Chorus] Hear that rumor rolling through the stands Hands up, hands up, if you understand What was built in the heat and the dust Can still fall down, can still turn to rust [Chorus] Hallelujah, the desert said amen Hallelujah, it’s the end of the rink again Phoenix cried out, Arizona sighed That Coyotes chapter finally died Hallelujah, the desert said amen (amen) (amen) [Verse 2] No more howl in the late-night air No more red sweaters and a frozen prayer Loose change, old tickets, a final cheer Then the whole long story just disappeared [Pre-Chorus] Brother, sister, don’t you look away Every empire has a closing day What was bruised by the heat and the thirst Could not stay first, could not stay first [Chorus] Hallelujah, the desert said amen Hallelujah, it’s the end of the rink again Phoenix cried out, Arizona sighed That Coyotes chapter finally died Hallelujah, the desert said amen (amen) (amen) [Bridge] Let the organ groan, let the floorboards shake Let the faithful sing for the years gone by If a dream can burn, then a dream can wake But this one bowed its head and said goodbye Oh, goodbye Oh, goodbye [Final Chorus] Hallelujah, the desert said amen Hallelujah, it’s the end of the rink again Phoenix cried out, Arizona sighed That Coyotes chapter finally died Hallelujah, the desert said amen Amen, amen, amen, amen
