New Mexico Fog
New Mexico Fog you have enchanted me
as I walk along through this snowy sea
I have seen so far with your vistas clear
as the buttes thrust out from this cloudy sea
New Mexico Fog you’ve enchanted me
I’ve known your horizons Far away
but now I am in your misty way
your icy winds bite at my face
as I avoid your wintry chase
New Mexico Fog you have enchanted me
I can only dream what I cannot see
your pines and aspen towering tall
the fiery flames of a mountain fall
this desert land quiet and serene
I patiently wait for your alpine spring
your cold clear streams from their mountains nest
slow down below to their oceans quest
the Rio Grande far down below
I cannot see it’s shimmering flow
your pinon pine and sagebrush scent
it paints my mind with just a hint
your northern mountains
your southern plains
your wintry storms
your summer rains
your mountain peaks envelope me
though from your fog I cannot see
New Mexico Fog you’ve enchanted me
my mind unlocked with natures key
as I do wait so patiently
for your dawn to rise in its warm beauty
as the sky does clear
and the fog does lift
the Enchantment stays
as our sacred gift
