Lyrics
God gave you red light On Evergreen road sign When you left Santa Fe We were two string beans And you were too 19 To be blowing away There were thieves in the square Hiding hands and hiding prayers And all their mumbling Nothing left you alone Tangled hills and tiny veery oh's Singing something Stuck with open curls Your mama was scared of the world It was born with a bang I was stepping on sea shells 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 nothing bends for a name Nothing 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 drivethru parking lot I woke up by your bed You were wandering 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 evening Naked boys throwing stones Beady eyes and desert bones They saw you leaving 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 blowing away
