Out In New Mexico - Heather Nova

These walls around me and the days are long

I fill my lungs with a widow’s song

I’m looking for a reason, feel the spirit rise

I see my life before me when I close my eyes

I picture a road out in New Mexico

Red earth and mountains and sky

I picture my soul out in New Mexico

With all that space rolling by Sometimes I feel, in a world between

Everything I touch and everything I dream

Sometimes I long for the rose to bleed

For the spark to light in the depths of me

I picture a road out in New Mexico

Red earth and mountains and sky

I picture my soul out in New Mexico

With all that space rolling by

I’m so scared of what I’ll find

If I let it go, if I look inside

I’m so scared of what I feel

If I let it go, if I make it real

I picture a road out in New Mexico

Red earth and mountains and sky

I picture my soul out in New Mexico

With all that space rolling by With all that earth rolling by With all these dreams rolling by Leaving this life behind
