Desert rain
A thousand miles from home
The mountains walked away
To the never-ending places in your head
The wind beneath the earth
Carries you away
To the desert in your eyes
The river at your back.
Unforgotten stories
Run through barren land
The beacons in your night
Of memories that came back
Mother can you hear,
the voices in the sand?
Across the great divide they soar.
Chorus
Where do you go when there’s no place to hide
until the desert rain takes you home?
What is your secret?
Your unforgotten story that you’ve never told another soul.
Why do you turn your face away in shame?
The tears that you cry are those of a child.
Where do you go when there’s no place to hide
until the desert rain takes you home?
Takes you home
Takes you home
Violent memories
fought the duel and won
The victory echoes in the silent words
Bitter is the steal
that breaks beneath your feet
The shards are none but glass
pieces on the sand
A shield of tales and legends
Haunts the midnight moon
The broken edges sing your lullaby
Weeping hands resist
Where angels fear to tread
Across the barren land they fall
Chorus
Where do you go when there’s no place to hide
until the desert rain takes you home?
What is your secret?
Your unforgotten story that you’ve never told another soul.
Why do you turn your face away in shame?
The tears that you cry are those of a child.
Where do you go when there’s no place to hide
until the desert rain takes you home?
Takes you home
Takes you home
