This version of the song was (finally) recorded and released in 2020:
Here are the original lyrics from 2009:
Moonrise, Hernandez
A calming breeze before the wicked sun
Our cakewalk across old 66
has become quite the marathon
On a sideroad, at the Gates of the Valley
where the joshuas fade, and the jeffreys seem to smile…
taken again by my memory of Laguna
my brush with death, when in the tide I lost my breath
We ride through Hesperia
and on to the beach at Solana
as daylight fades, the music creeps up on us…
mysterious and delicate
like the final moment in a dream
