New Mexico's No Breeze
God gave you red light on every green road sign
When you left Santa Fee
We're two string beans, and you were too 19
To be blowin' away
There were thieves in the square
Hidin' hands and hidin' prayers
And all their mumblin'
Nothing left you alone
Tangled heels and tiny vireos
Singin' something
Stuck with her pin curls
Your mama was scared of the world
It was born with a bang
I was steppin' on seashells
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
'Cause nothin' bends for a name
Nothin' wants to stay the same
And nothing's broken
When your friends and their friends
Pass the pipe or tie the knot
Honeymoon music played
In the drive-thru parking lot
I woke up by your bed
You were wanderin' around the yard
Window wide as a day
But the sun just hit too hard
In a home void of doors
Mama's house slowed a little more
In the evenin'
Naked boys throwin' stones
Beady eyes and desert bones
They saw you leavin'
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 19
You were blowin' away
When you left Santa Fee
We're two string beans, and you were too 19
To be blowin' away
There were thieves in the square
Hidin' hands and hidin' prayers
And all their mumblin'
Nothing left you alone
Tangled heels and tiny vireos
Singin' something
Stuck with her pin curls
Your mama was scared of the world
It was born with a bang
I was steppin' on seashells
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
'Cause nothin' bends for a name
Nothin' wants to stay the same
And nothing's broken
When your friends and their friends
Pass the pipe or tie the knot
Honeymoon music played
In the drive-thru parking lot
I woke up by your bed
You were wanderin' around the yard
Window wide as a day
But the sun just hit too hard
In a home void of doors
Mama's house slowed a little more
In the evenin'
Naked boys throwin' stones
Beady eyes and desert bones
They saw you leavin'
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 19
You were blowin' away
