Desert Song

The time has come for me to start packing
I’m folding the shores of my life into valises
I can’t stand this desert heat no more
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’ve waited to long to catch your signal
I counted the numbers
the letters
the days
Something tells me you’re
you’re not coming
I’ve got to go away
I’m going away
Now I’m writing you a letter and I’m making it long
Now I’m breathing
and I’m bleeding
and the pages are torn
Now I’m writing you to tell you I may go missing and lost
The sand covers my face
My mama say life is for living
If you’re unhappy honey go out and reinvent yourself
The desert is good
the desert is dark
I’ve got to go away
Said I’m going away
Now I’m writing you a letter and I’m making it long
Now I’m breathing
and I’m bleading
and the pages are torn
Now I’m writing you to tell you I may go missing and lost
The sand covers my face
