Testo One Mile Apart - Michael Johnson
Testo della canzone One Mile Apart (Michael Johnson), tratta dall'album Moonlit Deja Vu
My name is Mary Frances
And I live in El Paso
In a large house on Mount Franklin
I have quite a view
I can see the desert
The palm trees in the valley
And those little shacks in Juarez
Yes, I can see them too
My name is Juan Contreras
And from my home in Juarez
I can see El Paso
The houses of the rich
I leave my children sleeping
To earn a few pesetas
Selling red pistachios
To the tourists on the bridge
Which side of the river did someone flip a coin?
That's sad enough to break a river's heart
How can there be so much distance between us
When our houses are one mile apart?
My house is Spanish stucco
It has a blue jacuzzi
Four bedrooms and a fireplace
A swimming pool with heat
My house is brown adobe
I don't have running water
I don't have indoor plumbing
Or pavement on my street
Which side of the river did someone flip a coin?
That's sad enough to break a river's heart
How can there be so much distance between us
When our houses are one mile apart?
When our houses are one mile apart?
