Desert Skies Lyrics - Walkabouts

Black light fades 

Headlights switched off 

The engine burns 

As we're rollin' to a stop 

Let's get out here 

Lie down in the middle of road 

Ain't no cars comin' 

Only stars, and stars alone 

The city at our backs 

Did you really think that it would last? 

Heaven's trace 

A trail of starlight gone 

The city best forgotten 

Did the wind hit you in the eye? 

Or were you just about to cry? Desert skies 

This ain't the place to turn around 

Never even said goodbye, desert skies 

A day so hot it seemed 

Like the rocks could sing 

The sky so flat it seemed there was 

Nothin' in the wings 

Scar on your lip 

A story far too long to tell 

The story best forgotten 

Our party in hell's been cancelled 

Due to fire and thick smoke 

Torched up by its own success 

Do ya' wish that we had never spoke? 

Yours and yours alone 

Mine everywhere thrown yours alone 

Did the wind hit you in the eye? 

Or were you just about to cry? Desert skies 

All the stars are shaped like tears 

Tears are satellites, desert skies
