Sunken Waltz Lyrics

Cover art for Sunken Waltz lyrics by Calexico

This song was featured on NPR with Joey Burns talking about it. It's about the connection between finding a space in the sprawling urbanization of Tucson and finding a more metaphorical space in life. Carpenter Mike is an actual person Burns knew growing up who built and lived in a treehouse outside of the city.
