Dry Is 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.
Oh, how I miss you when I'm so far away
If you start to feel restless just try to be patient
And whatever you do, know I'm waiting for you
Life can be hard, dear; life can be lonely
Times like these seem they'll never end, but it'll be over soon
And whatever you do, know I'm waiting for you
Blue is the ocean, dear; green is the ivy
Red is the heart beating only for you
Dry is the desert, dear; empty is the horizon
And I'm praying to God that you'll wait for me too
I miss you so much when I'm so far away
Times like these seem they'll never end, but it'll be over soon
And whatever you do, know I'm waiting for you
Blue is the ocean, dear; green is the ivy
Red is the heart beating only for you
Dry is the desert, dear; empty is the horizon
And I'm praying to God that you'll wait for me too
Now when you think of me so many miles away
Remember my heart's beating only for you
Dry is the desert, dear; and empty is the horizon
And I'm praying to God that you'll wait for me too
That you'll wait for me too [x2]
