[Verse 1]
G
From the heart-wrenched sweet nothings
G
Between two distant lovers
G C Cmaj9
To the dying of the cruelty of war
C Cmaj9
Oh, the sad news and the love songs
G
Are passed along these phone poles
D
That stretch forever
D7 G
Like the lines of a Hemingway story
D
And they stretch along this highway
D
Like so many martyrs
C Cmaj9
Hung and burned for loving
C Cmaj9
Shedding light on Caesar’s gardens
G D D6sus4 G G6sus4
And they’re passing on a message sent from you
G
To us here in New Mexico
[Instrumental 1]

[Verse 2]
G
Well the old man at the red light
G
Was selling homeless papers
G C Cmaj9
And our windows locked the awkward silence in
C Cmaj9
We kept our eyes ahead
G
And then we quickly changed the subject
D D7
And our hearts broke even more
G
With our own hardness
D
Because Mark had asked
D
If we should invite him along for dinner
C
And we hemmed and hawed
Cmaj9 C Cmaj9
‘Til green faded into our Scarlet Letter
G D D6sus4 G G6sus4
And I know no martyrs died to pass that on
G
To us here in New Mexico
[Instrumental 2]

[Verse 3]
G
Well the night is raining from the clouds
G
That hang above this city
G C Cmaj9
And all I want is just to be alone
C Cmaj9
Unless that girl I’m praying for
G
Is here in Albuquerque
D D7
Unless you came to raise
G
The quick and dead
D
Then we’ll step out of this river
D
Of the Father, Ghost, and Son
C Cmaj9
Where we’ve waded in your innocence
C Cmaj9
Cause all of ours was gone
G
And we’ll lift our eyes to see
D D6sus4 G G6sus4
E new light dawn
G
On the beauty of New Mexico
