Midnight on Raton |
Sitting in a motel on the outskirts of Raton |
How the years have flown |
Since Townes passed through these hills alone |
I got someone who loves me |
But it’s too late to phone |
I wanna ride this road forever |
And I’m dying to go home |
Out there on the interstate the hurryin' of the cars |
High above room 28 the swirling of the stars |
And I draw the vinyl curtains like a veil across my skin |
I turn the bedside lamp down |
And I let my shadows in |
Cause I feel so full and so empty handed |
In a world so cruel I don’t think I understand it |
Are we still the fools |
Who don’t know right from wrong |
Here at midnight on Raton? |
I find a crumpled napkin and I fumble for a pen |
Chase a fleeting moment like it was my long lost friend |
And I curl up 'neath the blankets and dream until the dawn |
But come morning I’ll be through these hills and gone |
Come morning I’ll be through these hills and gone |
