It's no secret that I love the home we have established in Prescott, Arizona in the community of Talking Rock. Recently I wrote this rhyme, which I have also applied as lyrics for a "campfire" song. It's been fun to work it out, accompanying myself on my ukulele.
TALKING ROCK RANCH
Way out West
Far from city lights
Where coyotes sing on
Bright and starry nights
There is a place
Nestled in the plains
Where rabbits dance
In fragrant summer rains
It’s Talking Rock
We’re meant to be here
In Talking Rock
It’s so darn clear
We’ve found our home
No need to roam…
Talking Rock,
Talking Rock Ranch
In desert heat
And winter’s falling snow
Where toasts are shared
And treasured friendships grow
There is a place
A mile high
Where sunsets paint
The canvas of the sky
It’s Talking Rock
We’re meant to be here
In Talking Rock
It’s so darn clear
We’ve found our home
No need to roam...
Talking Rock,
Talking Rock Ranch
We’ve found our home
No need to roam...
Talking Rock,
Talking Rock Ranch
