“A woman counsels a bandit hiding out in the hills above the Rio Grande… cruel parting words circle in memory like buzzards… dust devils turn the sands… two shadows gently touch on a moonlight walk… a shot rings out in an alley… hungry dogs gather in the street… on a flight from Sonora, a woman kisses a faded photograph and says goodbye to her lover… after three years a woman still feels her lost lover in the night… a girl sleeping in the desert wakes to witness a midnight burial… a bottle crashes through a windshield at a Saltillo gas station and a car goes speeding into the night… a girl pawns her Virgin de Guadelupe for a last fix… a spirit floats down a dark hallway past her own name scrawled on the wall… a Colt 45 bolsters a woman’s faith in fate… a distant friend remains true as the tides… two lovers breathe the same air, their shadows make one shadow, but it’s only a dream… a woman sings a love song to her guitar… a star falls… it’s The Long Slow Decline of Carmelita.”
–by Robert Earl Hardy, Townes Van Zandt biographer (A Deeper Blue; The Life and Music of Townes Van Zandt, University of North Texas Press 2009)
