Lyrics

I said Alturasado, this trail goes on too long
Running between this world and some old lost one
Do you think we got it wrong

We were headed for Las Cruces it was there we lost our way
A ghost people in ghost places
Where our spirits used to play

CHORUS
Not a word was ever spoken
Not a word could ever say
There was nothing left unbroken
Nothing in the way

We came upon an outpost so took them by surprise
Came away with two fresh horses and seven days supplies

Then we met up with an old man in the road
With the vision in his eyes
He said son don't I know you, I don't think so
But I was telling lies

Now moving in the half-light, the old man, says he sees me running free
And with sorrow overtaken, a woman
Knows the man I used to be

CHORUS
Not a word was ever spoken
Not a word could ever say
There was nothing left unbroken
Nothing in the way

Not halfway to Las Cruces we were slowly leaning west
With the vision in my right eye and the river on the left

Still we kept on riding we were nowhere to be found
And now this vision I can't shake it
Or turn my horse around

CHORUS
Not a word was ever spoken
Not a word could ever say
There was nothing left unbroken
Nothing in the way

I said Alturasado, this trail goes on too long
Running between this world and some old lost one
Do you think we got it wrong
