These walls around me and the days are long   I fill my lungs with a widow's song   I'm looking for a reason, feel the spirit rise   I see my life before me when I close my eyes      I picture a road out in New Mexico   Red earth and mountains and sky   I picture my soul out in New Mexico   With all that space rolling by      Sometimes I feel, in a world between   Everything I touch and everything I dream   Sometimes I long for the rose to bleed   For the spark to light in the depths of me      I picture a road out in New Mexico   Red earth and mountains and sky   I picture my soul out in New Mexico   With all that space rolling by      I'm so scared of what I'll find   If I let it go, if I look inside   I'm so scared of what I feel   If I let it go, if I make it real      I picture a road out in New Mexico   Red earth and mountains and sky   I picture my soul out in New Mexico   With all that space rolling by      With all that earth rolling by   With all these dreams rolling by   Leaving this life behind
