Track Insight / Lyrics
Electric pulse in the New Mexico night
Dusty motel veranda, neon light
A hound stays vigilant, shadow-gliding eyes
Guarding this haven, under endless skies
He's a stray, a wanderer from somewhere south
Found himself here, at the foot of the frontier's mouth
Where adobe roads wind through the desert's sway
And the turquoise mountains shine at end of day
His howl echoes loneliness, a plaintive sigh
A cry for company, as the desert goes by
But he'll keep his post, through moon's silver stream
Faithful sentinel, where travelers whizz and gleam
Oh, desert watch, on the motel veranda stand
A loyal heart beats for the palm of your hand
From Santa Fe's brick streets to the Rio Grande's flow
You'll keep your watch, as the desert's secrets grow
His days are simple - sun, shade, and sleep
At night, the neon dance, when the world slows its creep
He knows every soul who comes and goes
Their stories woven into the motel's old rose
His howl echoes loneliness, a plaintive sigh
A cry for company, as the desert goes by
But he'll keep his post, through moon's silver stream
Faithful sentinel, where travelers whizz and gleam
Oh, desert watch, on the motel veranda stand
A loyal heart beats for the palm of your hand
From Santa Fe's brick streets to the Rio Grande's flow
You'll keep your watch, as the desert's secrets grow
The desert's vast and wild, a realm of heat and stone
But to this hound, it's home, his heart's sweet moan
For in the silence, he hears a voice that calls
A siren's lure, amidst the cacti's walls
Oh, desert watch, on the motel veranda stand
A loyal heart beats for the palm of your hand
From Santa Fe's brick streets to the Rio Grande's flow
You'll keep your watch, as the desert's secrets grow
Electric pulse fades to still, the night grows old
Our desert watch, his duty told
As morning arrives, and a new day unfolds
The motel's veranda, now empty, grows cold.
