The Story Behind This Song

Las Cruces hits different at night. The Organ Mountains disappear into the dark and the whole sky opens up. This song is a love letter to those nights — driving with the windows down, green chile on your breath, not a care in the world. Pure New Mexico magic.

Lyrics

Las Cruces Nights
Valentina

Las Cruces nights,
Galaxy high,
Land of enchantment,
You and I.

Chocolate eddies on your tongue, feel the world unwind,
Heat waves shimmer, but your hand's in mine.
Organ Mountains glow like fire in the haze,
We got lost in forever, in that desert maze.

Wrapped in a blanket, the coyotes sing,
Every laugh was a promise, every touch a flame.
Cold night air, but your body was warm,
Two souls electric in a desert storm.

Ojos de luna, corazon de sol,
The desert keeps secrets it will never let go.
Every star was a vow, every breath was a prayer,
Las Cruces, mi amor, I'll always meet you there.

In the land of enchantment where the desert breathes light,
Heat in the daytime, cold stars at night.
Hearts slow-dancing on a galaxy high,
We'll always have those Las Cruces nights.
