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
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
