Santa Fe

SANTA FE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Standing on the edge of the evening

Watching as the sun goes down

With the wind and I get this feeling

Lights dancing in a desert town

All by myself in Santa Fe

I was always the lucky one

Waiting out the rest of the day

And you know I don't want to escape it

I hope the stars bring me to another love

Living in the center of my own attention

Eyes are watching my every mood

Small chance in hell to gain redemption

Heart pounding wildly to their every move

All by myself in Santa Fe 

I was always the lucky one

Aliens come to take me away

You know I won't escape it

I hope they take me to find another love

Life is nothing but new memories

And that's the wonder of the world

Love can forsake your chivalry 

Or bring you new misery in the form of love

In the shape of a girl

And I know through all of those broken hearts 

It's still an unsolved mystery

Nothing is real

Nothing is healed

And that's the magic of it all

That's the wonder of it all

That's the power of civility 

Climbing up the walls of my very own illusion

Destruction is my tropical fear

Too much confusion from too many conventions

Roses are watered from everybody's tears 

All by myself in Santa Fe

I was always the lucky one

Nobody wants to try and stop this pain

But I can hear somebody say

That they wish to find another love

 All by myself in Santa Fe

I was always the lucky one

Waiting out the rest of the day

And you know I don't want to escape it

I hope the stars bring me to another love
