lyrics

It’s desert again
My face against the wind
Feeling all the concrete in my skin
My heart is a hole
The desert is cold
And up ahead I see an endless road

It’s a place I’ve been before my friend
A place I know that I will be again
It’s a feeling I have for you
But is the desert just an endless road?
My heart is tired, my hands are cold
And up ahead the story is untold

It’s desert again
I’ve lost another friend
Climb into the hills and taste the wind
My heart still feels a fire
Walking on a wire
High above old ashes of desire

It’s a feeling I have for you
And I know that I may never feel again
But I’ll wait in this place for you my friend
‘Cause the desert’s not an endless road
My heart wants more than it’s been shown
And up ahead the story is untold

The desert sun was sinking low
My Bedouin heart was beating slow
But my friend we’ll find the end of the road
Where we’ll listen for the wind to blow
Whispering the end of our story

There was a desert in my heart
An oasis in your eyes
Lord let me drink the waters from the skies
