Sahara

Lying on my side knowing of thirst

Is how I'll die, chalk on my tongue

Relying on the night beneath the dunes

Is where I lie to block the sun

Trying to ignite some sort of passion

From inside to overcome

This feeling of desertion can't be worse

Than never having anyone

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you

Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back

A lion on his side was it the lying

Or his pride which brought him down?

Once the king of beasts but now they feast

On the thoughts beneath his vacant crown

Trying to decide was it the lying

Or the pride which brought it down?

To be alone, to be dethroned

Believe me I know all about it now

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you

Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back

I never told you then that I'd be easy to love

Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub

I wanna run to the plains further and farther away

Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same

As my organs gave way, I swear I felt something burst

It's been thirteen days and now I'm dying of thirst

As for the birds of prey

I pray that someone else will get here first

I am not alone, I'll be alright

Just take these bones

And breathe them back to life

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you

Don't ever turn me loose

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you

Don't ever turn me loose

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you

Don't ever turn me loose, don't ever turn me loose

Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back
