Desert Showers

Like an evening in the desert

When the sand comes alive

People emerging

To play in the night

But behind a window

There’s a candle that’s died

But nobody sees

As smoke fills the air

He drifts into dreams

And sinks in the chair

Oh, with sweet serendipity in darkest hours

Dreams bloom like daisies in desert showers

Now he’s with his baby in heaven’s tower

Fall and drown me, desert showers

(In desert showers)

(In desert showers)

(In desert showers)

All through the dawn

It’s as quiet as a mouse

People are stirring

To head into town

(In desert showers)

I think through the morning

Oh, I can’t leave the house

Though it’s empty and bare

Lonely and dead

I’ll tire myself out

Walking miles in my head

‘Til there’s sweet serendipity in darkest hours

Dreams bloom like daisies in desert showers

I’ll be with my baby in heaven’s tower

Fall and drown me, desert showers

Desert showers

Showers

(In desert showers)

In darkest hours

(In desert showers)

In desert showers

(In desert showers)

In darkest hours

Fall and drown me desert showers

Walking miles in my head

‘Til there’s sweet serendipity in darkest hours

Dreams bloom like daisies in desert showers

Now he’s with his baby in heaven’s tower

Fall and drown me, desert showers
