There’s a desert saints have crossed
But on the border there’s a line
There’s a wish I left in the barrio
Upon the sinner’s shrine
Chorus
Nobody, but you can save me now
I’m just trying to find a way out
I’m counting on you, don’t let me down
Arizona
You’re the heart of everything
Everything that is
There’s a wire around the heart
Of everything that’s sacred
Chorus
Nobody, but you can save me now
I’m just trying to find a way across
I’ve got to get out of this place I’m in
Arizona
Outro
It’s down to you to save me
Down to you to save me
You’re the heart of me
You’re the heart of me

Crossed the border and never looked back
All my belongings tucked up in my pack
Afraid of loving what I can’t let go
Anna Lena, I left her behind
But she will always be on my mind
Through my veins the gypsy blood flows
I follow in the footsteps of the hopeless ghosts
Chorus
There’s no town that feels like home
There’s no town that feels like home
This wilderness I wander alone
My destination unknown
A vagabond for beauty I may be
I wander in the footsteps of the hopeless ghosts
Chorus
Home is the road I’m on
Home is the road
I follow in the footsteps of the hopeless ghosts
Chorus

My sweet Maria where are you now
Does your hair still fall down your pretty face
I had to leave I just couldn’t stay
To see somebody else take my place
Love’s been no better than you were to me
Love is a light that’s still out of my reach
It’s hard to let go of New Mexico
I’d love to go back to New Mexico
And see the sunflowers bloom once again
Just you and I beneath the sky
That’s as blue as your eyes in the rain.
I long to come back and see you again
Feel your beating heart next to mine
But I’ll never go to New Mexico

My desert rose, my corazon
Know me better than anyone
Give me the strength to carry on
When I fall behind
While there’s still treasures left to find
Words there for me to rhyme
Till we’re just candles on the shrine
Companera
My desire, my confidante
All that I could ever want
I want to be with you when I can’t
When life gets in the way
Till there’s no treasure left to find
You’ll be forever on my mind
Till we’re just candles on the shrine
Companera
The page, the line, the couplet
Till we’re just candles on the shrine
Companera
The grape, the wine, the goblet
Forever on my mind
Companera
Till we’re just candles on the shrine
Companera

The tired mistress
By the ocean
All the lost sisters
We held and let go
In the fading firelight
By the glowing lake
Black orchids
Tremble and shake
Chorus
Through the night
The dark horses run
Through the night
To never return
The barbed wire’s still weeping
The black orchids
Mark the trail of their tears
The black orchids
Show them the way
In the darkness of the heart
In the darkness of the heart

ACROSS THE RIVER
ACROSS THE WIRE
HOLY WATER
HELL FIRE
CHORUS
WHERE THEY PRAY FOR RAIN
DOWN BY THE RIO GRANDE
THE SINNERS AND THE SAINTS
SHADOWS ON THE TRAIL
BORDER GHOSTS
ALL LOST SOULS
WHERE THEY PRAY FOR RAIN
DOWN BY THE RIO GRANDE
YOU CAN’T BUILD A WALL
WHERE ALL LOST SOULS
MAKE THEIR STAND
YOU CAN’T BUILD A WALL

On the grounds we cherish
From the dead of night
Is a heart that's heavy
With another's light
Upon her wings
Where man does sing
In the land of the hummingbird 3x
She was a raven
Now just withered flowers
The bloom is gone
My soul is aching
For her song
Upon her wings
Rests everything
In the land of the hummingbird 3x
She was a raven

We Need Us
03:42
|
|||
This beauty that we see
Should be here long after you and me
Should be here for those who come
Long after us
Chorus
There’s a song to be sung
To be sung by everyone
When it’s gone, it’s gone
We all need us
Me and you
Time to listen, time to speak
Time to find the peace we seek
Time for us, time for us all
Before our time is up
Chorus

Summer In Your Eyes
03:43
|
|||
Long before us there was a war never won
Long before us there were songs never sung
Long before us there were no words to write
Long before us I would dream black and white
Chorus
I see the summer in your eyes
I feel winter fade away
I see a summer in your eyes
I see summer in your eyes
I long for your love beneath the cold hungry moon
I long for your love when the first bluebells bloom
I long for your love until the last leaf falls
Fall on me, fall on me, let them fall
Chorus
For I see summer in your eyes
I see skies of blue again
I see summer in your eyes
I see summer in your eyes
Bridge
Don’t look behind you
Don’t look away, don’t look down
Don’t look behind you
Just look at me, so I can see the sun

After The Rain
03:45
|
|||
Maybe the sun won’t always shine
And maybe the moon won’t always glow
But if there’s one thing that’s guaranteed it’s I’ll always be here for you
And there’s one thing on which I’ll always depend
Chorus
You shine like the road
Shine like the road
Shine like the road after the rain
Maybe my heart won’t always beat
And maybe the wind won’t blow through these streets
But if there’s one thing that’s guaranteed it’s I’ll always be here for you
And there’s one thing on which I’ll always depend
Chorus
Middle
Hold me darling
Lift me out the blue
Hold me
Hold me now
Chorus
