Lyrics

DESERT HEART

when a heart is parched and stops looking for water
when a heart is restless and stops looking for sleep
when a heart is cold and it can't find shelter
no love brings laughter, no pain makes it weep

chorus:
and it's a desert heart that don't mind the sun
it's a desert rain that seldom comes
there's life in the desert that you never see
heart like a desert waiting patiently
heart like a desert waiting patiently

when it lies in the seed the flower dreams in peace
asleep in the earth until the tender hand
of rain like a lover come to bring release
and sun like a kiss upon the desert sand

chorus

after the rain the desert comes to life
everything hidden comes to light
in the space of a day it blooms and dies
til grace like a blanket comes with the night

chorus
