Dry grass ripples in perpetual wind Golden razor edges shining like lamps Chain-rolled acres of thirsty juniper wood One branch will send flames five feet high Have you ever seen a snowflake in Arizona Red dirt roads stretch and yawn Cattle graze either side Houses of the dispossessed with unpainted silver foil walls Soft red ground under blue gray steel afternoon sky Storms approaching never quite make it all the way there Have you ever seen a snowflake in Arizona Have you ever seen a snowflake in Arizona

It is just as if the trees have sensed the state line And grow taller on the side where I belong And if that is not enough to welcome me back I am wanted by the arms that I call home This endless road is haunted and it makes me feel so small So take me in your arms Tell me it's alright Tell me that the two of us will sleep soundly tonight Say that's all we need Convince me I am strong And I will stand inside your words and let them hold me up But I am never not broken by it all We like to say that some things take a village But our villages got swallowed by the towns And our towns all have their dreams of bigger cities So I guess that no-one's never lonely now All of my words are haunted by the fear I don't belong So take me in your arms Tell me it's alright Tell me that the two of us will sleep soundly tonight Say that's all we need Convince me I am strong And I will stand inside your words and let them hold me up But I am never not broken by it all And I will lay my body down and break again if it will help And though I pick the pieces up I know I have more power here On the ground But I will get back up And say that it's alright That I have faith the two of us will sleep soundly tonight I'll say that's all we need And that I know I'm strong And I will stand inside those words and let them hold me up But I am never not broken I am never not broken I will never not be broken by it all
