Albuquerque Low - Elway

I spring awake and the flames lick at my heels

I fall and freeze in sentiments I’ve grappled with for years

Like how I’ll give up everything for what I love to do

And how it all means nothing if it isn’t all for you, old friend

I slam my fucking head into the wall again

Before you go, promise you’ll commit my bones

To the salty sand and stone on the gulf of mexico

And when the tide rises to baptize the shore

Let the wind take me home via Albuquerque low

We sat and smoked on a speeding midnight train

I arrived and mourned the fact that she would come and go again

Hung up on the cities that we both wanted to leave

Speaking slow and somber like we liked the taste of air between our teeth

We watched the sun come up and faced reality

Crack your windows on sleepless summer nights

You will hear me on the passing ocean breeze

As it softly carries me
