The Desert
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I went into the desert and I missed him
Don’t know if it was the mountains
Asking questions
I went into the desert and I held him
Through a muddy creek, he
Was sand pooling in my hands
And every night the desert sang a love song
And inside my languid body was a fight
And every night I hoped that he would come home
But by daylight I knew it wasn’t right
The wash is drying up
Underneath the red sunset
And I’m a lizard slinking through
The valley of regret
Oh, I’m the wild coyote
Yelping at the midnight sky
A lover, forgotten how to love
The sparrow, how to fly
Hollow, hollow when the moon is rising, rising
Lost my footing in the desert canyon
I lost him, and I lost my home
Saw him vanish into the horizon
And there I was, left to be alone
