Deserted

Grab my knee and look at me
and try to tell me i'll be home soon
asleep in my bed and unstoned
i'm tired of me this way
I don't know what i've gotten into
but i'm glad it's now instead of sooner
this desert heat has crowded me strong
with a wish i had for winter
It's not as gentle as it sounds
as though it sounded yesterday
when i heard a leaf of my life hit the ground
and as a bottle cap flew from my fingers
I don't know what i've gotten into
but i'm glad it's now instead of sooner
this desert heat has crowded me strong
with a wish i had for winter
..and the sand blew in my eyes
I stood on the edge and looked down to see
the light of a new life, shining up on me
I don't know what i've gotten into
but i'm glad it's now instead of sooner
this desert heat has crowded me strong
it's crowded me strong
with a wish that i had
with a wish i had
The sand blew in my eyes...
