Desert Song Lyrics - For Lovers Dreamers & Me - Alice Smith

The time has come 

For me to start packing in 

I'm folding the shores 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 you're 

You're 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 you to tell you 

I may go missing and lost 

The sand covers my face 

The sand covers my face (covers my face) 

The sand covers my face (covers my face) 

(covers my face) 

My mama said 

"Life is for living 

If you ain't happy, honey 

Go out and reinvent yourself" 

The desert is good 

The desert is dark 

I've got to go away 

Said I'm going away
