New Mexico's No Breeze

歌詞

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 vireo singing something tuck 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 the 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
