Tucson Songtext
von Christine Kane

Way out west a girl could lose her given sense
In all the truth that old desert sky can tell
That horizon′s just too much for me
But if I could count infinity, I'd know the desert well

These days I chalk it up to restlessness
You loved my loneliness I loved your smile
We put the wild in the wilderness
Made turquoise into timelessness in every dusty mile

Maybe we played with fire
Maybe it made me wiser, but
I should′ve left you in Tucson

There's no replacement for your innocence
When you leave it up to circumstance
To toss you where it will

And so you led me on
And so I went along
Now open space ain't nothing I can fill


Maybe we played with fire
Maybe it made me wiser, but
I shouldve left you in Tucson

After you disappeared in Phoenix
Not even blazing summer days
Could keep my body warm

I have no doubt you found serenity
Or turned some woman′s fantasy
Into a rising storm

Maybe it′s all behind me
Maybe it still reminds me that
I should've left you in Tucson

And now I′ve been so long away
Two months, a day, and seven years
But I won't go back to Arizona

I still have battles with this emptiness
You′d call it uselessness
I call it noise

I found a city where the rainy season's overdone
There ain′t no dust
There ain't no damn turquoise


Maybe the pain's subsided
Maybe the rain can hide it, but
I should′ve left you in Tucson
