Lyrics

New Mexico

Chorus
I have outrun coyotes
And fallen down the Great Divide
I will be leaving New Mexico soon
And coming home as your bride

And there's a big wheel
Telling my fortune
It's up there, somewhere Taos Mountain
It calls to me as I awaken
Extended purple vision.

Sandstone cliffs meeting blue skies
There's something peculiar going on.
Turn it all around perpendicular,
It's coast line meeting ocean.

Repeat Chorus

Is there some kind of truth
To every story?
Some purity to vision and to form?
I'm returning then with these images;
Been a long time coming home.

Oh the blood red
On the mountains,
And Christ, did he die for our sins?
I'm returning then with these questions,
Does outside come from within?

Instrumental

Repeat Chorus
