Desert

My feet are trembling alone

With the serpentine skins on the floor

And while I sleep will you send me a thought

While I lean could you build me a rock

Or pretend you're my home

Touch my lips or are they too blue

Thirsty from never tasting you

And with the wind and the dark and the sand these evenings are cold

And are you sleeping or can you give me a shawl

Or pretend you're my home

Finally you tuck me in

Don't feel warm don't know where I am

And you lean into my mouth and say, "I'm alone"

And I know your heart is a hole but your body's so close

I can pretend that I'm home

Empty as a hole but it feels so warm

This isn't home but somehow it's gold

Empty as a hole but it feels so warm

This isn't home but somehow it's gold
