about

Part 1 of an epic tale of a love between two rivers in the San Juan mountains and the friendships made along the way.

lyrics

John and Michael
Both good men in their time
One the land the other one just winds
John’s hand is steady
While ol’ Michael carves them lines
The fate of Saints forever intertwined

John says to Michael
Let’s shape this valley wide
Michael turns to John and sighs
You may be mighty
But the realm of grace is mine
And so it goes forever and all time

Oh Saint Michael
Lay your veil down
You’ve been rambling all through town
You know Dolores her arms are open wide
Go on and run to her and leave everything else behind

John says to Michael
This dance of ours, sublime
This beauty barely not a crime
Michael sheds a smile
A tear falls from each eye
May this love of ours not go unrecognized

John watches Michael
From above and with resign
He thinks this vantage point is fine
John remains steadfast
Michael twists around the pines
Merely farewell for they know not goodbye

Oh Saint Michael
Lay your veil down
You’ve been rambling all through town
You know Dolores her arms are open wide
Go on and run to her and leave everything else behind

John and Michael
Both good men in their time
One the land the other one just winds
John’s hand is steady
While ol’ Michael carves them lines
The fate of Saints forever intertwined
