O ne and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together
In the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
Of New Mexico
O n t he la st le g of the journey
They started a long ti me ago
The arc of a love aff air
R ainbows in the high desert air
M ountain passes slipping into ston es
Hearts and bon es
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
T hinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contagious
She bu rned like a bride
T hese ev ents may have had some effect
On the man with the g irl by his side
The arc of a love af fair
H is hands rolling down her hair
L ove like lightning shaking till it mo ans
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bone s
Hearts and bone s
N.C.
And whoa whoa whoa
She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
We'll wake up down in Mexic o
N.C.
Oh I
I don't know nothin' about nothin' about
No Mexi co
N.C.
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
Where I am
He said:
' Cause that's not the way the world is baby
T his is how I love you baby
T his is how I love you baby
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural coasts
To resume old acquaintances
Step out occasionally
And speculate who had been damaged the mo st
E asy ti me will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
The arc of a love aff air
Waiting to be restored
Y ou take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bone s
And they won't come undon e
H earts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
