A Desert In The Heart Lyrics - Singles - Undying

lost- he's surely lost now 

when he tries to strip himself of a past 

that keeps holding on 

so many times before I've tried to let go 

to peel off deception's mask 

but hid my fears behind walls of sorrow 

and like a cold, bitter chill one cannot shake 

disillusionment sits by my side 

(so in her I must confide) 

she tells me dark secrets and grim tales of regrets 

she tells me: 

love is not lost, it dies like all things do 

buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries 

alone - no one to share her days with 

she chokes on the stale dry air of memories 

she chokes on the words she says to no one at night 

and whispers her questions to the walls 

and drifts to sleep 

no one there to share her dreams 

and oh how it hurts to see tears fall from her eyes 

into the desert some are sent to starve 

weary and weak they make their way home 

and though our tired hearts will bear the scars 

let us find who we are 

buried in the night's shadows 

I await the dawn of a new day 

hold my hand, come with me 

to the skies let us shout battle hymns 

lust and love waging war to the very end 

let us stomp on heavens below 

let us not be afraid (for life wears a new face) 

love is not lost, it dies like all things do 

buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries 

and waits for broken wings to heal...to fly again someday
