Lyrics
The crimson colored canyon and the azure sky
Are beautiful to see ’til you come passing by
And then they all fade away
You are the picture and they only form the frame
For since you came, the desert doesn’t seem the same
And at the end of each day
Chorus
Angels come to paint the desert nightly
When the moon is beaming brightly
Along the Santa Fe Trail
Stardust scattered all along the highway
On a rainbow-colored skyway
Along the Santa Fe Trail
Beside you I’m riding every hill and dale
While shadows hide you just like a pretty purple veil
Thereby hangs a tale, I found you
And the mountains that surround you
Are the walls I built around you
Along the Santa Fe trail
Performance
