Deserted

Grab my knee and look at me
And try to tell me i'll be home soon
Asleep in my bed and unstoned
I'm tired of me this way
I don't know what i've gotten into
But i'm glad it's now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
With a wish i had for winter
It's not as gentle as it sounds
As though it sounded yesterday
When i heard a leaf of my life hit the ground
And as a bottle cap flew from my fingers
I don't know what i've gotten in to
But i'm glad it's now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
With a wish i had for winter
..and the sands blew in my eyes
I stood on the edge and looked down to see
The light of a new life, shinning up on me
...with a wish that i had
The sand blew in my eyes
