Lyrics

On a foggy day with much delay
we finally made the plane.
We were on our way; my thought remained:
would we all go down in flames?

Could say were the best of friends.
We shared a dinner table
and a measure of fraternal love
at times like Cain and Able.

Plane breaks through the gray haze. My gaze meets the sun.
Clouds take shape. Is that an angel who is on the run?

I think of you as my companion.
Oh, a thought disturbs my sleep:
a gap like the Grand Canyon
ran between us wide and deep.

By the time I get to Phoenix
will our friendship rise anew?
I know what I want; do you want the same?
You know that it takes two.

Crammed in a paid space, restless through the night…
Things will work out, or they won’t, and things will be all right. All right…

There’s danger in a quick descent
and struggle in the climb.
Oh, the effort seems worthwhile
when one breaches the divide.

We wandered ‘round the border towns
and we wound up in Nogales
in a cheep saloon at half past noon
with Margaritas and tamales.

There’s danger in a quick descent
and struggle in the climb.
Oh, the effort seems worthwhile
when one breaches the divide.
