Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light
Mc
Allen whispers into night
Palms exhale a humid plea
Border breezes, wild and free
Washingtonia robusta stands so tall
A sentinel where shadows fall
Roots embrace the Rio Grande
Ancient rhythms in this sun-baked land
Palm and breeze, a slow refrain
Whispering secrets through the rain
A border lullaby, soft and low
Where desert dreams begin to grow
Sabal palmetto, fronds unfurl
A green oasis in a concrete world
Each leaf a story, etched in time
Of patient growth and slow sublime
Palm and breeze, a slow refrain
Whispering secrets through the rain
A border lullaby, soft and low
Where desert dreams begin to grow
The botanist walks among the green
Observing life, a silent scene
He speaks in Latin, soft and low
To Chamaerops humilis, watch it grow
Palm and breeze, a slow refrain
Whispering secrets through the rain
A border lullaby, soft and low
Where desert dreams begin to grow
A stray guitar, a harmonica's sigh
Echoes of stories drifting by
A distant train, a mournful sound
Lost souls wandering hallowed ground
The air is thick with jasmine scent
A fragile hope, heaven-sent
These palms remember ages past
A quiet strength meant to last
Palm and breeze, a slow refrain
Whispering secrets through the rain
A border lullaby, soft and low
Where desert dreams begin to grow
Palm and breeze, a slow refrain
Whispering secrets through the rain
The palms still sway in gentle grace
A tranquil beauty, time and space
Palm and breeze, forevermore
Mc
Allen sleeps, and softly snores.
