Somewhere In New Mexico 

I have a friend who is a big Jill fan. So when I was traveling through New Mexico, I had my daughter take a picture of me on the highway and I sent it to her. I was fortunate enough years later, to have Jill autograph it. She wrote "it will come."

This may just be my favorite song.

I love that being abducted my aliens (strange light in New Mexico taking me away) is a double entendre to such a heartfelt lament of the faith she can't bring herself to. Earnestness with a wink is my favorite form of expression.

So I will lay on the highway, somewhere in New Mexico, and wait for a strange light, to come and take me home.

Beautiful beautiful song. thanks for posting! :D

Great song. I've been an atheist since I was ten; it's not always easy.

A great song. I would like to suggest two alternate titles for it; either "Once Before I Die" or "The Ballad of the Weary Rationalist." What do you think?
