“Santa Fe” Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Oh Santa Fe, Take me home to Santa Fe. Where mountain peaks Are bathed in gold. Where artists and seekers Come to unfold. Where natives live in ages past Stair step terra-cotta Rise on desert floors. Where artists come to paint and play Calling all to Santa Fe Dream maker’s dreams Come true in the Travertine Aisles of Canyon Road. Take...

The rocky desert was searing red, And the sky was lapis lazuli When thundering hooves and swirling dust Brought grimy, grim men fast riding by. Their looks and their mien were vulturine With dark eyes that were as hard as stone. ‘Twas easy to see it was risky To be riding this bleak land alone. I held my peace and stayed in...

New Love In Santa Fe
We met in the airport in Denver Just a beer and a martini dry She said she was leavin' some cowboy And she had not a tear in her eye Her story was old as the mountains Loved a man that's the wanderin' kind She ordered another martini As she started to leave him behind She belonged in the arms Of a man with...

Sound is sacrilege, gesture frames the hour. And from...

Santa Fe
It all came to an end last Sunday in Santa Fe. The love of my life was violently taken away. A mugger shot my wife even though she gave him her purse. She was rushed to the hospital but things got even worse. The doctors couldn't save her even though they tried. While she was on the operating table, she...

Santa Fe Turquoise
I’ve got a reason for buying you dinner, I heard your jewelry is Indian blue, I hear your diet has made you much thinner, All of that jewelry you’re wearing is new, Santa Fe turquoise looks so good on you. I heard he bought you with silver and leather, Somehow it doesn’t quite go with your smile, Open-air restaurants are fun...
