Chimayo

(album: Denim & Diamonds - 2022)

They say it was made by hand
Woven fibers by the founders of this land
Heavy lined with the weight of gold
Colors rich with its stories left untold
It only takes the wrong turn of events
To send us back to war again
Oh there's been a hitch in the plan
Devuélveme mi Amor

Chimayo
Can't keep it for myself
It belongs to someone else
Chimayo
It's such a crying shame
That it was to blame
For so much pain and sorrow
But it's not mine to borrow
Chimayo

So we traveled through the night
Guided on by the lamp of the moonlight
Careful not to show our trail
Pistols loaded for if we should fail
The sound of silence was blowing in the air
As we drifted to sleep on the ground
The enemy came closing round
Ese fue el final

Chimayo
Can't keep it for myself
It belongs to someone else
Chimayo
It's such a crying shame
That it was to blame
For so much pain and sorrow
But it's not mine to borrow
Chimayo
It's not mine to borrow
