"Alvarado" lyrics

Nothing more but an early morning
Everything less than a fire
A knock on the door, it's a late night warning
But man, I'm getting tired

If I were more alone, I wouldn't know it
If I could protect my bones, I wouldn't show them

Alvarado, silver dream
You can't have back what you've given to me

My horses ride from ocean to ocean, changing names in the night
Out with the tide are the morning mountains, burning in my eyes

A small little desert town inside of California
Has my world fallen down? I'm gonna find ya
Before all my years have gone

Alvarado, silver dream
You can't have back what you've given to me
Alvarado, under your desert tree
You can't let go till you hold onto something

I'm running from, I'm leaning on the better side of you
I'm falling down, I'm standing up to get a better view
When all my friends, they say it don't end, but I want it to

A small little desert town inside of California
Has my world fallen down? I'm gonna find ya
Before all my years have gone

Alvarado, silver dream
You can't have back what you've given to me
Alvarado, under your desert tree
You can't let go till you hold onto something
You can't let go till you hold onto something
No, you can't let go till you hold onto something
