Lyrics
Verse 1 – English
Riding down a broken road
Past the lights of El Paso
You left your ring in the glovebox
And your name in my shadow
Verse 2 – Español
La noche canta en silencio
El viento trae tu voz
Tus huellas ya no las sigo
Pero el alma dice adiós
Chorus – Spanglish
Between the dust and the stars
Entre promesas y soledad
We lost what we were
Cruzamos sin mirar atrás
Between the dust and the stars
Tu nombre aún quiere regresar
Verse 3 – English
The border’s just a line they drew
But hearts don’t know those maps
I saw your eyes in a thundercloud
Fading in desert gaps
Verse 4 – Español
Tus cartas quemé en el patio
Pero el fuego no olvidó
Cada letra era un disparo
Que mi pecho atravesó
Chorus – Spanglish
Between the dust and the stars
Entre promesas y soledad
We lost what we were
Cruzamos sin mirar atrás
Between the dust and the stars
Tu nombre aún quiere regresar
Bridge – instrumental suggestion: trumpet + steel guitar interlude
sin letra, solo música desértica, lenta, cargada de emoción
Outro – whispered/spoken, dual language
You’re gone with the wind...
Te fuiste con el sol...
But I still wait...
...entre el polvo y las estrellas.
