A New Mexico

(album: Comet - 2020)

Last night I walked on the beach holding hands
With an angel I just newly found
We hit the town, heard a great salsa band
There was music, romance, and love all around

We stopped the hands of time for a little while
In a dream with you, I was fully awake

What a difference a year can make
In who I am and where I go
South of the border now nothing's the same
I see a new Mexico

Last year I walked the same beach all alone
Lonely and wondering why I'd even come
The silver moon shining so far from home
By demons didn't stop till the bottle was done

And now here we are, I have to smile
In a dream with you, I am fully awake

What a difference a year can make
In who I am and where I go, whoa
South of the border now nothing's the same
I see a new Mexico

Now we live near old Santa Fe
In the mountains, my baby and me
And the wind always blows where the coyotes play
I'm happy my life is finally where it should be

What a difference a year can make
In who I am and where I go
North of the border now everything's changed
We live in New Mexico
New Mexico

It's a New Mexico
It's a New Mexico
It's a New Mexico (New Mexico)
It's a New Mexico
