One and one-half wandering Jews 
Free to wander wherever they choose 
Are travelling together 
In the Sangre de Cristo 
The Blood of Christ Mountains 
            B
Of New Mexico 
B7     C#m7    B7/D
On     the     last leg of the journey 
                     C#m
They started a long time ago
                    Bmaj7 
The arc of a love affair
A 
Rainbows in the high desert air 
E                                A
Mountain passes slipping into stones 
             C#m
Hearts and bones

Thinking back to the season before 

Looking back through the cracks in the door 

Two people were married 

The act was outrageous 

The bride was contagious 
     B
She burned like a bride 
B7     C#m     B7
These events may have had some effect 
                    C#m                     
On the man with the girl by his side
F#7                   Bmaj7
   The arc of a love affair
A 
His hands rolling down her hair 
E                                    A
Love like lightning shaking till it moans 
               C#m
Hearts and bones 
              A
Hearts and bones 
              E
Hearts and bones
N/c 
And whoa whoa whoa 
She said:
Why? 
Why don't we drive through the night 
                          A
We'll wake up down in Mexico 
   N/c
Oh I 

I don't know nothin' about nothin' about 
      A
No Mexico 
             N/c 
And tell me why 
Why won't you love me 
For who I am 
         A
Where I am 
He said: 
Amaj7
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby 
E
This is how I love you, baby 
A
This is how I love you, baby

One and one-half wandering Jews 
Return to their natural coasts 
To resume old acquaintances 
Step out occasionally 
                                        B
And speculate who had been damaged the most 
B7    C#m
Easy time will determine if these consolations 
                 
Will be their reward 
F#m7                   Bmaj7
   The arc of a love affair 
                     A
Waiting to be restored 
E                                             A
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one 
                          C#m
Their hearts and their bones 
                        A
And they won't come undone
E
