Desert Flower Lyrics - Singles - Joshua Kadison

Outside of Albuquerque, 'bout an hour North of there 

She's got a house full of three little Indians 

In the middle of nowhere 

You wonder where her man went, you wonder if she minds 

They've got smiles and healthy tummies 

So you guess they're doing fine 

She sells jewelry by the roadside 

Silver beads and things 

She can weave a spell upon you 

With any song she sings 

Oh, she's a desert flowers, growing free and wild 

Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child 

And you wanna take her with you but you know she must remain 

So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

You leave her wishing you 

Could turn yourself into the rain 

Her kids were playing leapfrog, jumping in the sand 

I pulled my car off the road and parked beside her stand 

She asked where I was going so fast and far alone 

I told her how love was something, I wasn't sure I'd ever known 

She said, "Maybe you never heard the desert 

Sing her song at night 

Or maybe you just been trying much too hard to get it right" 

Oh, she's a desert flower and growing free and wild 

Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child 

And you wanna take her with you but you know she must remain 

So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

You leave her wishing you 

Could turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

You leave her wishing you 

Could turn yourself into the rain 

I'm wavin' in my rear-view mirror 

Then the next thing that I know 

Are the broken lines on a long black highway 

Off to another shore 

Oh, she's a desert flower and growing free and wild 

Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child 

And you wanna take her with you but you know she must remain 

So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

Turn yourself into the rain 

You leave her wishing you 

Could turn yourself into the rain
