about

This song came along years ago, just missing the deadline for our 2nd EP in 2013 -- but the subject matter *never* seems to lose its relevance. We shared a live version a few years back with the good people of "No Màs Muertes" down in Tucson -- our way of helping to cheer them on. For more info about this organization and their important work along the border, look here:

lyrics

THAT BLOODY SUN

From barrio or village they ride north on the trains
Cooking when the sun shines, soaking when it rains
Ragged little pilgrims, some barely in their teens
Following their mamas or chasing after dreams

They’ll cross at Nogales all right
And then, ten miles out of town
Get lost in the desert tonight
Out where that bloody sun goes down

Out in the Sonora some find their journey’s end
In the shade of some barranca they may never leave again
Or stumble into farmyards, upset the farmer’s wife
Or through their final doorway and straight out of this life

They’ll cross at Nogales all right
And then, ten miles out of town
Get lost in the desert tonight
Out where that bloody sun goes down

No border fence will stop them, forever they will come
As long as things are better over here than where they’re from
Ah, pobrecìto Mèxico: how can your children rest
So far away from God and so close to the US

They’ll cross at Nogales all right
And then, ten miles out of town
Get lost in the desert tonight
Out where that bloody sun goes down
