From the recording Magdalene
Lyrics
Blue Vision
M. Litton
As a child on the prairie he heard the great tales of old
About wild Spanish stallions the Indians tamed and rode
They raced the Spirit Wind, they hunted all the land
They followed the blue vision to where the Holy Mountain stands
O Lord, I wanna ride to the Holy Mountain
I wanna ride to the Holy Mountain
He fords the emerald waters, he crosses the diamond sands
Finds a flower in the desert to place in his lady’s hand
He stays with her one night, the night becomes a year
Still he follows the blue vision as her dark eyes fill with tears
There’s wind, water, and fire
Woman, earth, and sky
A man must tame a stallion and through blue visions ride...
In the shade of a white adobe church where the black-robed priest resides
She knelt beside a tombstone with a black veil over her eyes
Her prayers stir the dust of a long lost Gringo
Who followed the blue vision till the spirit took him home
There’s wind, water, and fire
Woman, earth, and sky
A man must tame a stallion and through blue visions ride...
O Lord, I wanna ride to the Holy Mountain
Ride, ride to the Holy Mountain
Saddle up and ride to the Holy Mountain
Through blue visions ride...
