Desert Song
The time has come for me to start packing / I’m folding the shelves of my life into valises / I can’t stand this desert heat no more / I’m going away, I’m going away / I waited too long to catch your signal / I counted the numbers the letters the days / Something tells me your not coming / I’ve got to go away, I’m going away / Now I’m writing you a letter and I’m making it long / Now I’m breathing and I’m bleeding and the pages are torn / Now I’m writing to tell you I may go missing and lost…
Alice Smith
