Close your eyes, slow your breath

Dear Calexico, I still love you after all these years.  

The following are some photos from Calexico's performance at Arts & Ideas this weekend. The words are from my favorite songs of theirs. (Quattro, He Lays in the Reins, Alone Again Or, Roka, etc.)

One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl

She's like grace from the earth

When you're all tuckered out and tame

So close your eyes
Slow your breath
Dream of northern lights
And this dance of death

Yeah, said it's all right I won't forget

All the times I waited patiently for you

And you'll do just what you choose to do

And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard this funny thing

Somebody said to me

That I could be in love with almost everyone

I think that people are the greatest fun

Leave the heart of the city for the heart of the world

Leave the heart of this city

Love the way her trust unfurls

Although we couldn't see a thing that night

And the stars in their slowness

And their slowness took us by surprise
