One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are traveling together in the Sangre de Christo
The Blood of Christ Mountains of New Mexico
On the last leg of a journey
They started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air
Mountain passes slipping into stone
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bone
Hearts and bone
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married, the act was outrageous
The bride was contagious, she burned like a bride
And these events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
Love like lightning, shaking till it moans
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bone

And, whoa-a-a-woo-oh, she said, "Why? Why don't we drive through the night?
We'll wake up down in Mexico"
Oh, I, oh, I don't know nothin' about, nothin' about no Mexico
"And tell me why, why won't you love me for who I am, where I am?"
He said, "'Cause that's not the way the world is, baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby

One and one-half wandering Jews
Returned to their natural coasts
To resume old acquaintances and step out occasionally and
Speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy time will determine
If these consolations will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
You take two bodies
You twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
And they won't come undone
Oh, hearts and bones
Hearts and bone
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bone
