lyrics

That trip we took to the Pueblo
Them feather ear rings at the fair
Spot of mole on your linen skirt
Rest of the evening in our underwear

Like the lines in this arroyo
My heart it shows the signs
Of love’s once raging river
Of your water’s life divine

Playing fiddle in the canyon
You dancing to the tune
Promenade et allemande
You were my monsoon

Now my heart may be as brittle
As the desert is bone dry
But a channel has been dug
For the returning water to find

And after all we’ve been through
The fights and the boohoos
Somehow my heart beats on
This Love ain’t gone

Lips ablaze at the gates of the metro
The promise of our first eye to eye
Picking flowers for your healing tinctures
Their sweetness a mirror of our insides

I’m dreaming of a flash flood
But my heart it pays the price
For you’ve moved on without me
And I’m standing in the same river twice

Though I was made to ramble
Perhaps I was the loyal one
For to me you’ll always be
In the red cotton field and burning dawn

New water will seek its level
The wash’s course may slightly change
But the path to Love’s Rio Grande
Will always carry your holy Name
