South of Santa Fe Lyrics

Well the rain don't fall and the grass don't grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
Stumbled in on a lost café
The shades were pulled and the door was locked
But something made me knock
Time stood still when she opened the door
I didn't know where I was any more
We were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowin' wild as a tumbleweed

Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
The sun burns hot as the devil's gaze
The desert meets the sky
Tatooed on my memory
Is the image of an angel's face
North of Heaven, south of Santa Fe

Bad news tends to travel fast
And I was runnin' from my past
I left her when the mornin' broke
Truth it I never let her go
Now I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be

Somewhere north of Heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
The sun burns hot as the devil's gaze
The desert meets the sky
Tatooed on my memory
Is the image of an angel's face
North of Heaven, south of Santa Fe
North of Heaven, south of Santa Fe
