lyrics

That long silver train cuts through the desert sand like the blade of a Mexican knife
The scorpion’s tail reaches over its head to greet its first kill for the night
The coyote’s howl chills you to the bone, stays with you ‘til it’s time to wake
The man at the station he’s checking his wrist, he’s worrying that train might be late

And the sun keeps on burning, the moon sits on the river bend
And the stars if you look closely can guide to your journey’s end

The shadows are long across the desert sand as the dawn breaks the spell of the night
That man at the station he lets out a sigh as that long desert train, it comes into sight

And the sun keeps on burning, the moon sits on the river bend
And the stars if you look closely can guide to your journey’s end

And the sun keeps on burning, the moon sits on the river bend
And the stars if you look closely can guide to your journey’s end

And the sun keeps on burning, the moon sits on the river bend
And the stars if you look closely can guide to your journey’s end
