Mexico

All I need to do
I could do it
In a day
And where I need to go
I know I could
Get there
In a day
But each regret and fear
And cigarette
And beer
Gets in the way

Twice I had
A dream
Her pair of eyes
Were staring up
At mine
And as I woke
I heard
The clock radio
Begin to chime
Six words
I knew I heard before
You have come
Unstuck in time

But hey hey
Would you mind
If I ask you a
Question or two
Of mine?
I’ll keep it brief
And so
Here goes

Does anybody know
Why I am
On the floor
And why am I
Lying all alone?
Or why she had
To go
On a plane to
Mexico where
Reddened sand
She’ll turn to snow
Down in
Mexico

One night in
America
I felt a bit of love
She pushed my hair
Behind my ear
I nearly fell because
This had to be
The dream
I mean
The moment
I was dreaming of
