Lights of Santa Fe - Eliza Gilkyson

Driving at night on Highway 25

Blindfolded I d know the way

Just over the rise like a jewel in the mountains

Shine the lights of Santa Fe

How many times have I come home to you

Just to have you turn me away

Oh you ve been betrayed by the ones that threw you

To the whims of the white man s way

But you show no resentment and you show know resistance

To the ones who ve done you wrong

Oh they ll hang themselves on their own fool existence

After the laughter is gone

Oh Santa Fe, city of faith

I did my time in an honorable way

And now there is a candle for each dream that breaks

In the Lights of Santa Fe

From the houses of mud to the governor s palace

Spirits walk the streets in the daylight

And some scream for blood, some bear no malice

For the ones who stole their birthright

Nai-ve tourist standing shoulder to shoulder

With wise and ancient souls

Oh the old way gets lost and the tracks grow colder

As the bell of St. Francis tolls

Oh Santa Fe, city of faith

I did my time in an honorable way

And now there is a candle for each dream that breaks

In the Lights of Santa Fe

There is a candle for each dream that breaks

In the Lights of Santa Fe
