This Is My Year for Mexico

(Vincent Matthews)



I no longer notice if you're wearing perfume

I quit'smoking girl you never even knew

And the road is full of young and restless people

And they pull off the energy to move.



It's the habit for us to stay together

We said and watched the nightly shadows grow

Every day last year I left for California

This is my year for Mexico.



We used to whisper low across the night time

Now we never whisper nor we call

Our love was left upon the shelf from winter

Where the sunlight never touches it at all.



It's the habit for us to stay together

We said and watched the nightly shadows grow

Every day last year I left for California

This is my year for Mexico.

Your back is turned to me while you are reading

I close my eyes while I pretend to toe

From the road I hear the sound of passing traffic

Some of them are bound for Mexico.



It's the habit for us to stay together

We said and watched the nightly shadows grow

Every day last year I left for California

This is my year for Mexico.



This is my year for Mexico...
