lyrics

DESERT HEARTS
I’m watching the sand storms blow
From my front porch
Where will they be tomorrow?
Does anybody really know?

Desert hearts in the wilderness,
Emotions blowing in the wind
Feel I’ve lived more than one lifetime
Will I ever get to see you?

I’ve been down so many times
You can take all my money
But you won’t get my pride
You live on that mansion on the hill
Have you ever heard
The story of Jack and Jill?

Well mister I’ve seen your face before
Weren’t you the guy
Who wanted to build that wall?

Peace love and understanding always wins
They’re gonna get you one day
I’m sure they will

And I don’t know where they went wrong
Why these things have to be
I always thought that I was strong
Could never see this misery

I’ve been asking too many questions
All of my life
And I still don’t know the answers
What is wrong and what is right?
There is a world outside my door
A place that so many people ignore

And I’ve been thinking of an old friend
I wish that she was here
Life is full of memories to me most are clear
There was a girl I used to know
She broke my heart but I never let it show

I’m watching the flowers grow
From my front porch
Where will I be tomorrow?
Does anybody really know?

Desert hearts in the wilderness
Emotions blowing in the wind
Feel I’ve lived more than one lifetime
Will I ever get to see you, again?
