Hush - Calexico

In the afternoon of orange blossom days

Hummingbirds rest above where we lay

You say it’s ok, no need to fret

The weight of it all will ease as we find

The balance in each step we make

Swinging back n' forth in a palo verde tree

The wind in the needles hushes you asleep

Even with the strain, your heart remains

Don’t doubt why darlin'

In time you will find we’re alright we were born

Like the branch to bend and not to break

Reconcile and resurrect, tombstone rose

Growing up and over the gates to where our children play

The future wraps ‘round like vines

Inside these arms

Darlin' will you say in our final embrace

Before returning ‘neath the clay

After all that your heart still remains
