Lyrics

Desert Flower

A bed of rocks where an ancient river used to run
Virgin petals open slowly to the violent sun
Another morning’s hope of rain without a reason why
Like an echo of the memory of the mercy of the sky

Desert Flower how do you keep blooming?
With this heat wave and the darkness looming
I hear thunder in the distance booming
Desert Flower how do you keep blooming?

Everything you ever were shines forever in your eye
The moonlit wasteland has no sympathy, no tears to cry
You dream of water, hold your breath, swim with all your might
When your clothes are dry you kiss tomorrow’s dreams goodnight (Goodnight!)

Desert Flower how do you keep blooming?
With this heat wave and the darkness looming
I hear thunder in the distance booming
Desert Flower how do you keep blooming?
Desert Flower how dare you keep blooming?
Desert Flower I hope you keep blooming
