240111: Under The Wide Open Cold Desert Sky

from Leap Songs, Part 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Out in the desert
Outside Juarez Mexico
There is a legend
That every traveler knows

A restless spirit
As old as time itself
The ones who hear it
They slip beneath its spell

Beyond the city
By the light of desert stars
A song so pretty
Appears within your heart

You start to sing it
You're calling out her name
The gyspy lyrics
That you'll never be the same

It happened to me one lonesome night
I fell in love with a ghost
Under the wide open cold desert sky
Upon a dream long ago

The ones she's taken
To keep her company
We won't awaken
We'll spend eternity

Out with the cactus
On nights that never end
The kind of madness
That becomes your only friend
