Calexico: "Bisbee Blue" Lyrics

When you can't find the hours

Days keep on slipping thru

Avenues under construction

Blocking out your sky blues

Burried beneath the letters

Bills and the junk in the mail

Finding the strain to your heart

From the troubles down the trail

No sign of your old haunts here

Gone with the copper crews

Veins mined in vein remind you

Choices we choose to lose

New cities keep on sprawling

Old towns falling too

Raining a river of color

And it's flowing bisbee blue

Straight to you bisbee blue

Some say this way's the only one that's true

Bring me back bisbee blue

Bring me back

Oh these days, seem dark

Darkest I've seen

Darling you send me thru the hours

Days keep on sifting thru

Chipping away to remember

Days with you bisbee blue

Shining like bisbee blue
