from The Nightshift Watchman

..............................................
|
|
Winter was gray in my small town sky
|
When Sarah came back with a smile
|
Something's just brought here around this whole world
|
Back to our hometown, main street mile
|
|
She's come from the land of the desert sun
|
To warm up this small town street
|
A shinning medallion on sun-tanned skin
|
The silver still holds the heat.
|
|
Chorus
|
Its closer to home than my own home town
|
Never so far away
|
So come with me, she said to me
|
I'm going to Santa Fe
|
|
She's got that golden light in her hair
|
From shining into the sun
|
She smiled so kind with her ocean eyes
|
And told me I'm not her only one
|
|
But she said I know that look in your eyes my friend
|
You need some highway behind you
|
So follow me down and I'll lead you astray
|
Maybe you just might find you're
|
|
Chorus
|
Well this town just grew up around me
|
I never meant to stay
|
I tried to make my break before
|
But I never got away
|
|
When I'm walking with Sarah
|
I feel I'm set free
|
Like she could walk past all the guards and say
|
This man's with me
|
|
Out past the street lights, into the darkness
|
After the last stop gas
|
Now all of those things that kept me here
|
Sarah can take me past
|
|
Chorus
|
Closer to home that my own home town
|
never so far away
|
Just holding out a highway sign
|
that just says Santa Fe
|
I'm finally on my way.
