New Mexico's No Breeze
(专辑: Ghost On Ghost - 2013)
God gave you red light on every green road sign when you left Santa Fe We were two string beans and you were too nineteen to be blowing away There were thieves in the
square hiding hands and hiding prayers in all their mumbling Nothing left you alone, tangled hills and tiny verio singing something Stuck with her pin curls, your mama was scared of the
world, it was born with a
bang I
was stepping on sea shells by the
old Mission San Miguel when a
bell tower rang And the
sky fell apart heard the
rain, I
heard your heart, and what was spoken Was "nothing begs for a
name, nothing wants to stay the
same, and nothing's broken" When your friends and their friends passed the
pipe or tied the
knot Honeymoon music played in the
drive thru parking lot I
woke up by your bed, you were wandering around the
yard Window wide as a
day but the
sun just hit too hard Little low votive doors, Mama's house slowed a
little more every evening Naked boys throwing stones, beady eyes and desert bones, they saw you leaving God gave you bobwhites and the
good kind of black night when you left Santa Fe New Mexico's no breeze and you were so nineteen, you were blowing away
