 A desert  sunrise, you warm  my soul
  painting  me in shades of  clay, covering me whole.
 And  I'm a lizard, sun bathing  in
  your  radiance.  Oh I call you 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 risin', upon the horizon,
  bringin'  light into the day and  I am, coastin' on your rays.
 
 When  I awoke you spoke through the mist of a misty bliss,
  casting  shadows,  on all my dismal yesterdays.
 
 Do  you remember that you told me darlin',
  that  I was so real? I tell  you all my tears for you are real.
 
 And  we'll cross that bridge again someday.

 A Desert  sunset, a lullaby.
  If  I could give it all to you, if  you'd only let me try.
 You  sing so sweetly, its my  only wish.

 so  precious, Tongues twist.

 Desert  moonrise, into the  night.
  Before  we lay our heads to rest, 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.
