THE SANGRE DE CHRISTOS words/music by Bill Mallonee
(admin. BMI 2014)
these sun~drenched towns shine like Deigo's Roses
the ones God's Mother asked him to hold
mothers are always giving roses to their children
under the blue skies of the Sangre de Christos
blood...is ink where i come from
rising up from sweat drenched earth
ringing like the lonely bell of a church tower
under the blue skies of the Sangre de Christos
The sunlight never fails to win the heart's allegiance
& a good woman is better than fine gold
her kisses sweeter than agua fiera covering you
under the blue skies of the Sangre de Christos
This guitar was stumblin' drunk & full of stories
orphan children waiting in the cold
they poured out just like Deigo's Roses
under the blue skies of the Sangre De Christos
