Stars On the Sandias
Terry
The night's comin' down on Corrales, New Mexico The lights of the townand the mountains begin to glow Homefires are burning, there's a cold northern wind Worried as watchin' the storm blowin' in This highway is old, winding her through the past The miles go so slow, the years have gone by so fast High beam lights gleaming over diamonds of snow Searching for something she left long ago Shiver, Red River, the snowflakes are fallin' Coyotes are howlin' from dusk until dawn Oh, prescita Mahita, hear the winds softly callin' STARS ON THE SANDIAS will light your way home A face in the window watches the whole night through A candle burns low, the table is set for two Rosary's counting every prayer through the tears Hoping that somewhere somebody will hear CHORUS High on a hill in the shimmering snow lies a pathway that somehow stayed clear An angel descends, luminarias glow, while a voice softly sings in her ear... CHORUS
