![]() Carried To Dust (2008) [ larger cover art ] |
Watching your eyes go back and forth
Out on the highway
Watching your heart bend to the road
Kiss your forehead as I turn to go
Following those signs, driving out
Only engine smoke
Frozen in a cloud
Wishing the space would remain
Holding back your tears from letting go of your heart
Leaving the middle of the road
Letting go just a little bit
Till it all spills out the side of the road
Hole in the sea, hole in the heart
There's a hole in your hand where the money just falls
And the pain falls right through
The hole in your head wears right through
The hole in all your plans
There's a hole that shines right through
Shines right through

| Foot (NorCal / Wine) | Posted: Aug 01, 2011 - 18:08 Love Calexico but this track (not a bad thing) sounds eerily like Chris Rea's "The Road to Hell," a song that also deserves every bit of airplay it can get. Both 9+ |

| roulleau | Posted: Nov 22, 2010 - 19:04 "There's a hole in your hand where the money just falls" I normally like Calexico, but this just made me want to hear John Prine's "Sam Stone": "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes / Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose" |

| RadioDoc (Chicagoland) | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 15:18 Not a single dud on this CD. Excellent throughout. Even better if you listen to the whole thing start to finish. |
| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Mar 07, 2009 - 20:31 I once read that if you want people to listen, you whisper. It worked here - I'm listening this one a lot. |
