lyrics

the Desert

they say the desert
is hot and lonely
and only
ho-spitable
to some

and truly,
de-solate,
and hot
but it is not
so terribly
lone-some

see i went to the West
u have to go
al-one.
to see the things that appear
only
to some

and i went, the the West
to turn over some stones
and find the things you can
only find
al-one

and the Desert, if given time
and s p a c e
eventually,
will turn to the
sea

so that the ocean waves
make fog to feed
the endlesss
redwood
trees

turned the car, to the North
to find some clear and cold
come twilight
I will
fill
the sky with
sparks

and there, in the Dark
by the light of fallen
trees
I found a little
plastic effigy.

still many more miles to go
and where ever I stop
will be home
and should
u forgive me,
I'll go to
where ever
u are.

Because there
in the Dark,
by the light of fallen trees
I found u
in the dirt
while I was digging
for me.

And there,
in the Dark,
Eight thousand miles
from the start,
it still,
is u...
