Mexican Wind

(Jann Browne - Pat Gallagher - Roger Stebner)



Emmylou Harris & Jann Browne



This is my third night under bright shooting stars

I have crossed into Mexico maybe that's where you are

You told me you'd come here if our love should end

Eighty miles past the border on the Mexican wind.



So I followed the dusty roads into Flores Magon

And they said you had left there for Aquiles Serdan

You told me you'd come here if our love should end

Eighty miles past the border on the Mexican wind.



There's a place in the desert where we let it begin

We would dance close together as the candles would dim

In a quiet cantina with sweet mandolins

As they'd serenade softly on the Mexican wind.

My life seems to slow down the further I go

Into the bare heart of old Mexico

Still I keep searching for someone who once let me in

But somehow I lost him to the Mexican wind.



There's a place in the desert where we let it begin

We would dance close together as the candles would dim

In a quiet cantina with sweet mandolins

As they'd serenade softly on the Mexican wind

Eighty miles past the border on the Mexican wind.
