Blue Mountains Of Mexico [German translation]

I found a postcard from long ago

in a drawer yerserday

come back to Tucson, I miss you so

it was warm here today

northern Rockies all deep in snow

clear down to the Sangre de Cristo

Blue Mountains of Mexico

will be always alone, still out there

on our own

Time like money just disappears

no one knows where it goes

we spend it so recklessly

when we've got nothing but time

warm sun on adobe dawn

Blue Mountains of Mexico

will we be always alone, still out there

on our own

If we meet down the road somewhere

would we know what to say

has the river flowed too many miles

now we're too far away

try to get lightening back in a bottle

like old lovers trying to stop the

hands of time

Blue Mountains of Mexico

will we be always alone, still out there

on our own
