Desert Where Her Heart Is

In another life I saw her

Struggling with demons she didn't understand

She searched for her lifeline

But every room she entered was like a foreign land

Through other people's houses

As unfamiliar as the palm of her hand

The love that she dreamed of... she struggled to

understand

But she's making her way

Across the plains and the cities of the night

It's somewhere in the centre of her

She's craving the secret, she always returns

To the desert where her heart is

Way out in the back blocks she's looking for a sign

It was the crime of the century

She chewed at the trap... tried to leave the past

behind

But there's laughter inside her

Hear it echo in the hills all around

Somebody's watching her

See the tiny footprints she leaves on the ground

But she's making her way

Across the plains and the cities of the night

She's searching for love

It lies somewhere 'neath the wide open sky

But a jealous god is watching her

As the clouds descend in her mind

Don't stand in the way of her

Or you'll find yourself sharing the rations of despair

In the desert where her heart is

Oh the slow passing of time

Can anything stand in its way?

Only her story and her laughter will last

In the desert where her heart is

Voices all around her are calling her home

Nobody can stop her now

Somebody saw her just the other day

She was running late again

She was draggin' her feet

Though peace of mind was waiting at the corner of the

street...
