Lonesome Lyrics

Out here on the border there's a lonesome wind that blows

You can hear the trains for miles away, a'comin'

Singin' Lonesome

Lonesome

And the ocotillo only blooms after it has rained

They point their lonely fingers at the sky all day

Singin' Lonesome

Lonesome

Three pilgrims went a'walking down to bethlehem one day

With a shining star up high above their heads

And I saw jupiter and saturn's paths a'crossing on their way

In an ever-cosmic shaking of hands

Out here on the border you can walk for days and days

And the only thing you'll find's what they call nothing

Call it lonesome

Lonesome

And they say an ancient river came to wash it all away

And the only water left is ever-leaving

Call it lonesome

Lonesome

There was a pilgrim walking 'cross the rio grande one day

With a jug of water balanced on his hand

I've seen that man aquarius and I have seen the sun

And I've seen the turning ages of man

Out here on the border there's a lonesome wind that blows

And it leaves behind the quiet of the evening

Singin' lonesome

Lonesome

And somewhere an ancient century grows far away from everything

Just waiting for it's time to start blooming

Singin' lonesome

Lonesome
