Love And Altar

As the water finds the cracks

Birds pick the highways clean

Crucifix across my shoulder blades

Got your name tattooed between

So you say the root is dry

As you flash the old-time camera

And hide your songs of anguish

In dying language

Never saw no rainbow sign

No meaning was I offered

To love is to pay

Lay your wealth upon the altar

So we share a couple songs

Here in the desert hotel

While they're tearing up the highway

Here to Santa Bell
