the rains have
been slashing all the month of may
I been looking for you every night and every day
but some friends of yours were laughing, feeling sorry for me
they told me so casually, new mexico's where you'd be
I felt so foolish standing there
I was the last one to know
goodbye philadelphia
hello, new mexico
I'll chase you in the midwest, I'll chase you on the plains
follow the hawk so high above, seek the keeper of the flame
seek council with the old ones, walk the holy grounds
grasp every grain of wisdom to try and track you down
I felt so foolish standing there…
they want me in chicago, they want me in l.a.
they're waiting in atlanta, but I'll never head that way
I don't have a roadmap to you but I seem to know your lands
never seen your country but I really understand
I felt so foolish…
today I heard chanting high up in the hills
the rains they fell away the winds grew so still
and there was just the wild drumming of my heart so steadily
and I thought I heard your voice calling out to me
I felt so foolish standing there
I was the last one to know
goodbye philadelphia
hello, new mexico
