lyrics

D Bm
The night was complex with desire, there was a humming in the wire
Fsharpm A
Something on the radio left nothing much to be said
D Bm
It’s hot in the sun, when you’ve done what I’ve done
A Bm
But I know where I can find some cool water for my head

Fsharpm A
I’ve been looking for you if you want to know where I’ve been
A D
I’m sorry if my heart has a little delay
Fsharpm A
In the driest patches, flowers like you never seen
A E
My voice catches in the draining hours of the day

Set out from Oaxaca, headed up to Cuernavaca
And we drove back down into Mexico City at dawn
If you have trouble breathing in the heat of the evening
You could either play guitar or you could pray for a storm

Service stations with backdrops of mountains
I feel a shaking in the road beneath
I’ve been to a city older than us both by my counting
And I walked out of there feeling sand between my teeth

I’m young, but I’ve been younger, found love out of hunger
Fruit pulp is seeping through the pages of my book
I’m looking for my seat, wearing linen in the heat
I’ve put a flower in my pocket and I can hardly bare to look

The rippling city and a bitter taste at the bottom
The horizon’s every detail was shadows in flame
I saw a valley all full up of stars and a sky all empty of them
And a straight line of sunset cross the window of the plane
