Maybe Arizona

maybe cacti are secretly wishing they could fly
maybe tumbleweed are thinking about moving to the seaside
maybe rain clouds don’t ever want to waste a drop
maybe you and I are waiting for everyone to not look

or maybe Arizona, be honest I know you want to
maybe Arizona

maybe the rivers are meant to show the way
maybe the wind has messages if only we could hear
maybe the sand dunes remind us of what happens to mountains
maybe you remind me of Sunday mornings on the beach

or maybe Arizona
be honest I know you want to
maybe Arizona, take your coat and let’s go now

maybe the lizards know exactly where to hide
in the desert where big ships remain strangers in the night
maybe loose ends play hide and seek in the shade
while icicles are far too clever to come this way

or maybe Arizona
be honest I know you want to
maybe Arizona take your keys it’s been a long time
it’s been a long time
let’s go now
