Blue Mountains Of Mexico Lyrics - One To The Heart, One To The Head - Gretchen Peters

I found a postcard from long ago 

In a drawer yesterday. 

Come back to Tucson, I miss you so. 

It was warm here today. 

Northern Rockies all deep in snow 

Clear down to the Sangre de Cristo. 

Blue Mountains of Mexico 

Will be always alone, still out there on our own. 

Time like money just disappears 

No one knows where it goes. 

You spend it so recklessly 

When you've got nothing but time. 

Warm sun on adobe walls, 

We kissed in the desert dawn. 

Blue Mountains of Mexico 

Will we be always alone, still out there on our own. 

If we meet down the road somewhere 

Would we know what to say? 

Or has the river flowed too many miles 

Now we're too far away 

To get lightning back in a bottle 

Like old lovers trying to stop the hands of time. 

Blue Mountains of Mexico 

Will we be always alone, still out there on our own.
