Panthers

BOB OLDREIVE & JOE LINDLEY


We were panthers and we ran

On twilight?s silver sand

In the tangles of the bayou

Disappear if you should follow


Never wait the light of day

To take our chosen prey

There?s a rustle in the trees

We wander where we please

All along our native coast,

Rumors, myths and ghosts


You wonder what we see

How it feels to be so free

To scale an ancient ruin

Silhouette the desert moon


Taking flight as we run

Hiding from the Mayan sun

A primal life austere

With only man to fear

Peering through the vines,

a pair of amber eyes
