Mexican Wind

[Verse 1: 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

[Verse 2: Jann Browne]

So I followed the dusty roads into Flores Magon

And they said you had left there for Aquiles Serdan

[Jann Browne & Emmylou Harris]

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

Eighty miles past the border on the Mexican wind

[Chorus: Jann Browne & Emmylou Harris]

There's a place in the desert

Where we let it begin

We would dance close together

All the candles would dim

In a quiet cantina

[Jann Browne]

With sweet mandolins

As they'd serenade softly

[Jann & Emmylou]

On the Mexican wind

[Verse 3: Jann Browne]

My life, it seems to slow down the further I go

Into the bare heart of old Mexico

[Jann & Emmylou]

Still I keep searching for someone who once let me in

[Jann Browne]

But somehow I lost him to the Mexican wind

[Chorus: Jann & Emmylou]

There's a place in the desert

Where we let it begin

We would dance close together

All the candles would dim

In a quiet cantina

[Jann]

With sweet mandolins

As they'd serenade softly

[Jann & Emmylou]

On the Mexican wind
