She dreams of the desert Of its dangerous beauty The unknown He dreams of the desert He knows the safety it holds for him His long time only friend She calls to them both For very specific reasons Seasons Of their lives are different But the desire is the same The desert is a mermaid With a sweet siren song What you make of her Becomes your fate Once you’ve answered her call
Took a Greyhound bus to my love Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace Story of a nexus That grew into love A love that connects us Across state lines Swamp to the desert One leads to the other Landscapes fade and change Wide open range Leaving plenty of space to fill with love Daydreams Of real things That keep us intertwined Took a Greyhound bus to my love So I could dream the whole way Of the way She makes me feel Smiles on my face for real Green eyes sparkling through the night Holding my baby tight Wheels on the road Turning round and round Like the feels in my heart Hitting like a dart Pulling up on the target Of my affection No question It’s been worth the whole ride
She watches through the window of this old adobe Strangers pass by She wonders about their lives Their exclamations Their secrets The desert is blowing outside Dust particles look like glitter in the Texas sun She dreams of places yet unnamed Somewhere to leave her mark A wild Western streak Her dreams levitate Swirl and dance with the desert air Like a curtain in the breeze Gently falling Then rising with a billowing ease Like clouds They ascend to the heavens Whispering to her ancestors Her desire for change is immense She prays with ghost beads Breathes in sage smoke There is a holiness to becoming unhinged
