Terence Trent D'arby - Albuquerque lyrics

New Mexico is where I make my home In the canyons where the stars are all I own Leaving Santa Fe was not my plan but only the cactus and coyotes could understand her demands I had a fear that you might hurt me O I'll be damned or Albuquerque I had a fear that you might hurt me O I'll be damned or Albuquerque Wondering if I hadn't gone insane ‘cause I failed to see her teardrops through the falling rain The future started fading from our view and I had to run to keep ahead of you and the pain I had a fear that you might hurt me O I'll be damned or Albuquerque I had a fear that you might hurt me O I'll be damned or Albuquerque In the deserts of New Mexico I swallow hard and I let go of you Crazy love is never easy It's why I moved to Albuquerque to start anew Paradise is just a world away with all the meanings that you placed your faith in yesterday Climbing down the mountain of our fate If I learned it all I fear I learned it all too late I had a fear that you might hurt me O I'll be damned or Albuquerque I had a fear that you might hurt me O I'll be damned or Albuquerque O I'll be damned or Albuquerque O I'll be damned or Albuquerque
