Terlingua and the ocotillo
Border line with the twisted spine
Swear I saw you in the milk of the moonlight
Brother hazard meets sister sky
Said it all in the breath you exhale
Said into your cup of wine
Red ripple’s a premonition
Let it linger behind your eyes
Now there’s fear in the eyes of the mother
Still coursing through her every vein
Car people by the waters rising
Watch it all wash away
