Feleena (from El Paso)

Out in New Mexico, many long years ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a baby was born; Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and Father, both proud of the daughter That heaven had sent them, Felena was this baby's name. When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams She ran away from the shack and left them to roam Father and Mother, both asked one another What made her run away, what made Felena leave home; Tired of the desert nights, fartherly grieved to strife She ran away late one night in the moon's golden beam She didn't know where she'd go, but she'd get there And she would find happiness, if she would follow her dream.
