Desert Flower

Outside of Albuquerque, "Bout an hour north of there

She's got a house full of three little Indians

In the middle of nowhere

You wonder where her man went, you wonder if she minds

They've got smiles and healthy tummies

So you guess they're doing fine

She sells jewelry by the roadside, silver beads and things

She can weave a spell upon you with any song she sings

Oh, she's a desert flowers, growing free and wild

Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child

And you wanna take her with you

But you know she must remain

So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain

Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain

You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain

Her kids were playing leapfrog, jumping in the sand

I pulled my car off the road and parked beside her stand

She asked where I was going so fast and far alone

I told her how love was something

I wasn't sure I'd ever known

She said, "Maybe you never heard the desert

Sing her song at night

Or maybe you just been trying much too hard to get it right"

Oh, she's a desert flowers, and growing free and wild

Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child

And you wanna take her with you

But you know she must remain

So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain

Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain

You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain

(Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain)

(You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain)

I'm wavin' in my rear-view mirror

Then the next thing that I know

Are the broken lines on a black highway off to another show

Oh, she's a desert flowers, and growing free and wild

Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child

And you wanna take her with you

But you know she must remain

So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain

Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain

You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
