	Story Behind the Song At the Racetrack, a dried lakebed in Death Valley National Park, you can see the trails left behind by rocks as they move. This inspired this song about how the rocks wake up in winter to sing and dance. Lyrics In the quiet of the summer On the dry lakebed The rocks sleep quietly And dream of dark red There are no birds around No noise anywhere Until a jet goes over Way above in the air In the dryness of the fall On the dry lakebed The rocks sleep restlessly And dream of bright red The birds are coming back There is chirping in the air There are bugs on the ground And a subtle stirring there But when the winter comes And there’s no one watching The rocks grow wide awake And move until they’re touching And while the wind is blowing The rocks begin to dance Some rocks take steps backward While another might advance The rocks come alive Some hidden winter night And no one’s ever been around To capture the marvelous sight But we know it happens The rocks leave trails in the ground So when we come again in summer Their dancesteps can be found And the rocks sing! In the beauty of the spring On the dry lakebed The rocks sleep peacefully And think of things they said I think the rocks are smiling And remembering the glow Because the rocks lead secret lives That we will never know
