new mexico
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 1.15.99 & 2.4.99

you said "he flew to new mexico"/ "left me out in the cold"/ memories like aeroplanes/ flying in icy winter storms/ but he's miles away in santa fe/ and i can't touch you anymore/ but he writes you letters/ treat those letters like home/ // / he said "i've got her on the phone/ "it's not the same as being alone"/ our words are like shadows looming high/ that we're building into walls/ but i'm trying to do the right thing/ and i don't know aymore/ but he writes you letters/ treat those letters like home/ // / you said "he flew to new mexico"/ "left me here in the cold"/ memories like aeroplanes/ flying in icy winter storms/ but he's miles away in santa fe/ and he can't touch you anymore/ but he writes you letters/ treat those letters like home/ // /
