Santa Fe
Santa Fe Serenade: A Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe
You promised to wait for me in Santa Fe.
With hotel rooms and TV's booming loud every night and day
In Santa Fe, there are hotel rooms with loud TVs day and night.
And all I have to do is just be careful what I say
I need to be cautious about what I say and do.
And do and what I put us through
Acknowledging the consequences of my actions and decisions on us.
Colorado, lines were down; Des Moine's an underwater town
In Colorado, communication is disrupted, and Des Moines is flooded.
Don't know what it is; I thought I'd find out here
Seeking answers but unsure of what's happening.
It's moving forward as it must, ninety-five and blowing dust
Life progresses inevitably, with challenges on the road.
Sitting here and missing us; it couldn't be more clear
Reflecting on the past and missing the relationship.
You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe
You reiterate the promise to wait for me in Santa Fe.
With dreams and postponements along the way
There are dreams and delays along the journey.
Conditioned by the outstretched miles and high desert hair
Conditioned by the vast distance and unique features of the desert.
Thinking I might find you there
Hoping to find you in Santa Fe.
Holding you in my dreams
Expressing a desire to hold you in dreams.
Ricocheting back and forth between my two extremes
Struggling between contrasting emotions and extremes.
Of light and dark and all the in-betweens
Dealing with the complexities of light, dark, and everything in between.
All of us know too well exactly what that means
Recognizing the universal understanding of life's challenges.
Will you still be here waiting for me here in Santa Fe?
Questioning if you will still be waiting in Santa Fe.
With arms and obligations and tears along the way
Expecting arms, obligations, and tears in Santa Fe.
And all I have to do is revel in here everyday
The only requirement is to enjoy each day in Santa Fe.
Then do it again tomorrow, do it again tomorrow
Repeating the cycle of enjoying today and anticipating tomorrow.
Do it again tomorrow in some other place
Continuing the cycle in a different location the next day.
