El Paso
On the late night line
Rolling dice
And killing time
Desert hills dark
As the city lights shine
Mary at the window
Crying love is blind…
Jupiter frozen
On a laptop screen
You said you never could
Say what you mean
Arms tattooed
Like a magazine
Telling the world
All the angels you’ve seen
And we’re fighting
And we’re finding
On the other side
Of the Rio Grande
Your daddy used to sing
In your uncle’s band
And you used to dance
In the dust and the sand
First with your mama
Then a gun in your hand
Fighting for a border
That’s hard to understand
And harder to find
Than the truth in this land
Love is blind, my love is blind
Crying love is blind
Oh Mary at the window
My love is blind
Crying love is blind
