Adobe Red
Adobe Red: Echoes of Lost Love in the Dusty Plains
Lyrics
If one day I wind up dead
If at some point I die
My blood stops running red adobe red
My blood ceases to flow the distinct red color similar to adobe
Will you smoke one last cigarette
Would you smoke a final cigarette
To all the fires that I've started
In acknowledgment of the fires I've ignited
The hearts that I've departed
For the hearts I've left behind or broken
They're all just campfire shadows in my head
They exist as mere memories or ghosts of my past actions
If one day I wind up found
If someday I am discovered or found
Meet another lonesome dove and settle down
Encounter another lonely soul and settle down
Will you picture me somehow
Would you imagine me in some way
Sipping dirty water
Drinking contaminated or impure water
With an old ranchero's daughter Somewhere the sky touches the ground
With a daughter of an old rancher
You can't hold what you can't hold
You can't possess something that's ungraspable
c cloud of smoke
A mass of vapor or fog
Stars when they fall
Stars falling from the sky
You can try but you lose it every time
Attempting but failing to maintain
Guess you never really had it all
Realizing that one never truly had everything
You never really had me at all
Implying the absence of genuine connection or possession
If I come back here again
If I return to this place once more
I don't want nobody askin' where I've been
I don't wish for anyone to inquire about my whereabouts
Wasted time ain't no one's friend
Time spent wastefully isn’t friendly to anyone
Rusty cars and broken bottles
Symbolizing neglect or abandonment (metaphorically)
Yesterday's tomorrows
Referring to unfulfilled promises or plans from the past
clways get forgotten in the end
They always fade from memory eventually
You can't hold what you can't hold
You can't possess something that's ungraspable
c cloud of smoke
A mass of vapor or fog
Stars when they fall
Stars falling from the sky
You can try but you lose it every time
Attempting but failing to maintain
Guess you never really had it all
Realizing that one never truly had everything
You can't hold what you can't hold
You can't possess something that's ungraspable
The thunder when it rolls
The noise of thunder as it travels
cnd the highway when it calls
The road or path calling out
You can try but you lose it every time
Attempting but failing to maintain
Guess you never really had it all
Realizing that one never truly had everything
You never really had me at all
Implying the absence of genuine connection or possession
You never really had me at all
