Blue Mountains of Mexico
I found a postcard from long ago
In a drawer yesterday
Come back to Tucson, I miss you so
It was warm here today
Northern Rockies all deep in snow
Clear down to the Sangre de Cristo
Blue Mountains of Mexico, will be always alone?
Still out there on our own
Time like money just disappears
No one knows where it goes
You spend it so recklessly
When you've got nothing but time
Warm sun on adobe walls
We kissed in the desert dawn
Blue Mountains of Mexico, will we be always alone?
Still out there on our own
If we meet down the road somewhere
Would we know what to say?
Or has the river flowed too many miles?
Now we're too far away
To get lightning back in a bottle
Like old lovers trying to stop the hands of time
Blue Mountains of Mexico, will we be always alone?
Still out there on our own
