Desert Sunrise

A desert sunrise, you warm my soul

painting me in shades of clay

covering me whole

and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance

Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet

so sweet you are

if I could only have a taste

wrap my lips around your flavor

just because you are you

just because you are, so beautiful

and I've been waiting all this life

in the company of one

and I know I am young

but I don't want to be alone

if you could only just

consider the two of us

and I know darling

I could be so good to you

I see you rising

on the horizon

bringing light into the day

and I'm coasting on your rays

when I awoke, you spoke through the mist of the mystic bliss

casting shadows

on all my dismal yesterdays

do you remember that you told me, darling

that I was so real

I tell you all my tears for you are real

and we'll cross that bridge again some day

I know we will

I hope we will

desert sunset, a lullaby

if I could give it all to you

if you'd only let me try

sing so sweetly, it's my only wish

music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss

summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist

and I've been waiting all this life

in the company of one

and I know I am young

but I don't want to be alone

if you could only just

consider the two of us

I know darling

I could be so good to you

I see you rising, on the horizon

bringing light into the day

and I'm coasting on your rays

when I awoke and you spoke through the mist of a mystic bliss

casting shadows

on all my dismal yesterdays

do you remember that you told me, darling

that I was so real

I tell you all my tears for you are real

we'll cross that bridge again some day

I know we will

I hope we will

desert moonrise, into the night

before we lay our heads

I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight

sing so sweetly, it's the sweetest sound

and I've become weak in the knees

and I drop down and kiss the ground

and all my cares lie far below

in this earth I wish to die

in this hearth my fire grows
