Lyrics
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.
