lyrics

hills slowly roll
on the roads to mexico
pleasantries exchanging for the gunfire

the mask on the man
reveals a dark plan
enemies complaining that the rent's too damn high

the sun is so bright i can taste it
and the desert belongs to an age long ago

she weeps in the sand
and places her hand
on the heart of the child she's forsaken

from north mexico
back to el paso
the stories are old and they're blameless

and the wind is so light i can't face it
and the desert belongs to a time long ago

send out a dove
of peace, hope and love
there's little of this south of the border
miracles arise
in the poor childs eyes
in the voices of saints who call to us

and the air is so fine i can't waste it
and the desert belongs to a girl in a song
