Heart of Clay

You went out to the desert and you dug a little hole

You found a spot where the sand was soft and moldable

You took it in your hands and you made a little shape

You put it in my chest with the intent of making it ache

But you did not consider what the consequence would be

For a heart of clay cannot have a key

And my heart is made of clay

My heart is made of clay

You took me to the city and you thought that I would stay

How didn't you know that my soul was gone, far away?

This concrete forest fence can't keep the desert from my mind

And one night while you're sleeping I'll blow out oh so quiet

For you did not consider what the consequence would be

A body of sand is always trying to leave

And my body is clay and sand

My body was made

My heart is clay and can only brittle and break

When I reach where I came from

I will wait till the rain comes

And melt into the land

Through the wind and thunder

You will never cease to wander

Searching for me

But the one you seek to find will remain in your mind

For clay will I be
