Benson, Arizona
The million suns shine down,
But I see only one,
When I think I'm over you,
I find I've just begun.
The years move faster than the days, and there 's no warmth in the light,
And how I miss those desert skies, the cold touch in the night.
Benson, Arizona -- the warm wind through your hair;
My body flies the galaxy; my heart longs to be there.
Benson, Arizona -- the same stars in the sky,
But they seemed so much kinder when we watched them, you and I.
Well, the years pulled us apart:
I'm young, and now you're old,
But you're still in my heart, and the feeling won't grow cold.
I dream of times and spaces I left far behind,
And where we said our last goodbyes:
Benson's on my mind.
Repeat Chorus
Now the seasons spin on by, like seconds on this ship,
And I take another pull from the flask that's at my hip.
The might-have-beens and the never-weres can drive a man insane,
So I think I'll stay out in the void, 'cause Benson's not the same.
Repeat Chorus
