Track Insight / Lyrics
Balcony steps worn by time's embrace
Erased by cacti beneath sun's warm grace
I sip a cerveza on a dusky stage
Watching stars ignite the desert's great page
My gaze fades to the canyon's crest high
Where homebound gulls ride up into the sky
The mesas whisper secrets, eyes ask why
Was I a sailor or an albatross that flew by
Fleeting winds of change blew me astray
To this oasis 'neath a desert's sway
But here I find my own dance delight
Under the stars on this lonely overnight
Oh, Mesa Solís, your darkness is gold
A desert dancer, secrets untold
In your heat, in your chill, my heart starts to fly
Oh, Mesa Solís, under your tropical sky
A lone guitar strums under moonbeams bright
As shadows stretch and night dew takes flight
The breeze whispers tales of love and of the sea
Of a heart that roams 'til it finds destiny
The stars up above, they see it all
Of a man lost to the ocean's call
But in this stillness, I hear a different song
Of the love that awaits, where my heart belongs
Fleeting winds of change blew me astray
To this oasis 'neath a desert's sway
But here I find my own dance delight
Under the stars on this lonely overnight
Oh, Mesa Solís, your darkness is gold
A desert dancer, secrets untold
In your heat, in your chill, my heart starts to fly
Oh, Mesa Solís, under your tropical sky
The desert's vast and I am but a man
With a soul that yearns for its distant clan
But in the mirrored calm of this quiet night
I find my anchor, my guiding light
Oh, Mesa Solís, your darkness is gold
A desert dancer, secrets untold
In your heat, in your chill, my heart starts to fly
Oh, Mesa Solís, under your tropical sky
(Nylon-string guitar strum, dembow kick fadeout)
The stars remain, as they always will, a familiar sight
Flickering fairylights against the endless black of night
The quiet of the desert holds me close
A lonely heartaches gently, at peace, to a close.
