Lyrics
[Intro] [Woven Straw Rustle & Wooden Peg Foley]
Rustle, hang... palm leaf hat upon the cedar peg
Resting my contented and unwearied leg
[Verse 1] [Nylon Guitar & Muted Cello]
Wide brim woven from the desert palm so tight
Shielding my face from the blazing midday light
Leather band embellished with a silver bead
Providing everything my simple travels need
Hanging on the whitewashed adobe wall
Answering the peaceful afternoon call
Scent of dried straw and desert rain
Washing away every trace of worldly strain
[Pre-Chorus] [Rhodes Chords & Brush Snare]
outlines stretch across the terracotta tile
Putting a bright and unhurried smile
[Chorus] [Artisan Rustic Cultural Drop]
Woven palm straw sombrero hanging by the heavy door
I don't need a single worldly treasure more
In the cool sanctuary of our desert room
Where the sweetest memories forever bloom
Rest here, breathe deep, let the hat hang still
In the peaceful haven on the Baja hill
[Verse 2] [Rhodes Licks & Cello Drone]
I slip my linen sandals off upon the rug
Wrapped inside a quiet and contented hug
The desert breezes blow through the iron screen
The calmest afternoon that I have seen
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony & Guitar Solo]
Let the artisan hands be praised tonight
For crafting tools of comfort and of light
Straw, leather, adobe and loving grace
Inside this honest living space
[Chorus] [Full Grand Artisan Climax]
Woven palm straw sombrero hanging by the heavy door
I don't need a single worldly treasure more
In the cool sanctuary of our desert room
Where the sweetest memories forever bloom
Rest here, breathe deep, let the hat hang still
In the peaceful haven on the Baja hill
[Outro] [Door Swings Softly & Straw Hat Settle]
Handmade sombrero...
Adobe peace.
[Fade Out]
[End]
