Los Caminos Antiguos
H I S T O R I C A L N E W S A R T I C L E S



In the heart of Colorado
there’s a canyon ev’ry lover knows
where the desert sands sing love songs
every time the west wind blows.


Refrain
The singing sands of Alamosa
sang tenderly the night
that we found love was ours.
Deep in the sands of Alamosa
the angels hid a song
amid the desert flowers.
But since you said goodbye
there’s no music.
Just the ghost of a song that used to be.
The singing sands of Alamosa
will sing a new day
that you come back to me.
