Desert Soul

'Desert Soul', a song of remembrance when away from the desert, by Inessa D'larcy

"Lying here alone
  bright lights beneath my window
 remind me that i'm far from home
  they tell me dreams come true in this town
 but all my heart remembers
  is the silent desert sound."

"Desert sands, shining in the moonlight
  Left my heart buried in her depths
 Desert days slow and bright
  Tried to come here to forget."

"But my soul calls out to the desert sands
 and my eyes long to see you against her colored bands
  and my feet want to walk its mysterious paths once more
 and my heart -
   my heart only wants to see you as before."

"Tried to play my songs today
  but they all come out wrong
 all my harmonies so far away
  They tell me dreams come true beneath the trees
 but all my heart desires
  is the swift desert breeze."

"Desert winds, blowing in the twilight
  Left my heart buried in her depths
 Desert nights clear and bright
  Tried to come here to forget."

"But my soul calls out to the desert sands
  and my eyes long to see you against her colored bands
 and my feet want to walk its mysterious paths once more
  and my heart -
   my heart only wants to see the one I adore."

"Music of the street
  is so very different than i'm used to
 shouting voices and tramping feet
  far from the quiet places
 nowhere to catch my breath
  and take in nature's graces."

"Desert flowers, open in the sunlight
  Left my heart buried in her depths
 Desert eyes mysterious and alight
  Tried to come here to forget."

"But my soul calls out to the desert sands
  and my eyes long to see you against her colored bands
 and my feet want to walk its mysterious paths once more
  and my heart -
 
 My heart only wants to see you just once more."

The song falls softly into silence.
