Song

'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.
