Eliza Gilkyson - Lights Of Santa Fe lyrics

Driving at night on Highway 25 Blindfolded I’d know the way Just over the rise like a j**el in the mountains Shine the lights of Santa Fe How many times have I come home to you Just to have you turn me away Oh you’ve been betrayed by the ones that threw you To the whims of the white man’s way But you show no resentment and you show know resistance To the ones who’ve done you wrong Oh they’ll hang themselves on their own fool existence After the laughter is gone Oh Santa Fe, city of faith I did my time in an honorable way And now there is a candle for each dream that breaks In the Lights of Santa Fe From the houses of mud to the governor’s palace Spirits walk the streets in the daylight And some scream for blood, some bear no malice For the ones who stole their birthright Nai-ve tourist standing shoulder to shoulder With wise and ancient souls Oh the old way gets lost and the tracks grow colder As the bell of St. Francis tolls Oh Santa Fe, city of faith I did my time in an honorable way And now there is a candle for each dream that breaks In the Lights of Santa Fe There is a candle for each dream that breaks In the Lights of Santa Fe
