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.
The desert is calling me
But I'm not that good
God help me to take the risk
That I have to take
I want to go down fighting
What's holding me back
You know I want to be there
If you didn't go to Mexico
You wouldn't be here now
I need some good thinking
To turn this thing around
I've been meaning to ask you
What's it going to do
Will it be raining
Will the sun shine too
But that's not important
Is it hot or is it cold
Is there water in the air
The desert is calling me
But I'm not that good
God help me to take the risk
That I have to take
I want to go down fighting
What's holding me back
You know I want to be there
If you didn't go to old Mexico
You wouldn't be here
