AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE

Somewhere between a border town & outside Santa Fe
Where the moonlight casts her heavy sigh & sent me on my way
You learn to trust the compass stars woven in her hair
And you learn to read the poetry hanging in the thin air
Should you become a drifter, the Good Earth is your friend
And your learn to read her language till the bitter end
There was a Rosary on the rearview; this time it went unsaid
But, if Love gets the last word; Maybe, i'll be "ok."
Chorus:
No more dark clouds. Oh, baby that's not your style
No more dark clouds,at least for a little while
At least for a little while
So, if you're walking wounded; bedeviled and all
honey, if you're walking wounded; Darling, I won't let you fall
One more thing about that drifting: Every place becomes your home
And yes, you may be lonely...but you never are alone
