MEXICAN SKIES

Warm breeze, waves are crashing

On the beach my mind’s rehashing

All the scenes in living color

The reasons that brought me back where

Blue seas touch horizon

And there’s me telling lies and

Trying to convince myself

That someday I’ll be over you

     Right now that day’s so far from

     My mind I don’t know if I’ll

     Ever find a way to get past your goodbye

     I took the bait and you pulled me

     Under - too late cause now I’m in

     Over my head at the scene of the crime

     Under these Mexican skies

Smooth talk mixed with your

Sensual walk you might as well have

Drawn chalk lines ‘round my heart

Cause I was yours right from the start

My fault I played right into your hands

You stalked me and I was entranced

Cobalt blue paradise night

How could I ever have known

     Right now that day’s so far from

     My mind I don’t know if I’ll

     Ever find a way to get past your goodbye

     I took the bait and you pulled me

     Under - too late cause now I’m in

     Over my head at the scene of the crime

     Under these Mexican skies
