Lyrics
NEW MEXICO
VERSE ONE
You were out there waiting
For your turn to dance
I was anticipating
A summer time romance
You lured me out to the desert
The stars laughed
As we swayed
Under violet hues
And a lavender moon
I was willing to make my play
CHORUS:
Memories are sweet
Precious as gold
Thoughts of you refresh my soul
We were young that time ago
Dancing the sands of New Mexico
VERSE TWO
Your heart belonged to the desert
Your spirit was free and wild
I was willing to give into hunger
For a little while
You never told me you loved me
We weren't looking fo rlove
One passionate night
Our desires took flight
In what fantasies are made of
(REPEAT CHORUS)
CHANGE
Ooo Ooo Oooo
You were out there waiting all alone
You were out there waiting all along----
Waiting all alone
Oh
You were out there waiting all along
(REPEAT CHORUS)
New Mexico

Oh woah woah
