New Mexico

I walked out past the edge of where it’s safe to stand

And then I heard your voice, and then I felt your hand

Lead me up out of the city, across the mountainside,

To where the foothills meet the desert, to our favorite place to hide

To New Mexico, New Mexico

Where the people think we’re pretty and there’s turquoise everywhere

Where the wind swirls all around us and the moon reflects your hair

In New Mexico, New Mexico

Kiss me now, but don’t keep score,

When I need you less, I want you more

I want you more, I want you more, ah

So I’ve finally discovered that I’m happiest alone

So now that I’ve told you, watch me chase you home

To your apartment by the river, to my castle in the sky

And when we need escaping, come join me and we’ll fly

To New Mexico, to New Mexico

We’ll land in Albuquerque, spend the night in Santa Fe

Set me free, and watch me stay

‘Neath the church in the morning, against the cobalt blue

Every hour’s worth a lifetime when I’m spending it with you

In New Mexico, In New Mexico

Where the people think we’re pretty and there’s turquoise everywhere

Where the wind swirls all around us and the moon reflects your hair

In New Mexico
