Arizona Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's space that's always empty
There's a ghost without a name
There's the whisper of the candle
At the snuffing of the flame
And they say it's really nothing
Just a disappearing pain, ah

[Chorus]
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?

[Verse 2]
And when it rains in Arizona
And the desert flowers bloom
There's a wind that blows to Boston
And it sings the saddest tune
Well your mama she's a beauty
And your daddy's eyеs are blue, ah

[Chorus]
Wherе do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Ooh, and I never meant to hurt you
Or to tear you from this life
And I'm sorry if you suffered
When they turned out all the lights
But you're woven in the verses
Of this broken lullaby

[Chorus]
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to, my love?
Where do you go to?

[Outro]
Where do you go to, my love?
Everything I owed you, my love
Heaven will hold you, my love

Genius Annotation

Arizona is the 5th and final single from Wunderhorse’s sophomore album ‘Midas’. The song was first performed live in Swansea, Wales on the 19th November 2022 and later became available as a single on the 28th August 2024, just 2 days before the album’s release.

The song can be interpreted as an ode to an aborted child in Slater’s past with recurring images of extinguished life and paternal love permeating this ‘broken lullaby’.
