a desert ~sunrise, you warm my ~soul
painting ~me in shades of clay, ~covering me whole
and I'm a ~lizard, sun bathing ~in
your radi~ence, oh I ~call you out of hiding
so ~sweet, so sweet you ~are
if only I could ~only have a taste, wrap my ~lips around your flavor
just be~cause you are you, just because you ~are
so beauti~ful ~

I see you risin' upon the horizon (R)
Am7 Am7 Am7 Am7 (E)
bringin' light into the day and I'm coastin' on your rays (F)
when I awoke you spoke through the mist of a misty bliss (R)
casting shadows (on all my dismal yesterdays) (A)
do you remember that you told me, darlin' (I)
that I was so real, I tell you all my tears for you are real (N)
And we'll cross that bridge again someday
I know we will, I hope we will

desert ~sunset, a lulla~bye
if I could ~give it all to you, if you'd ~only let me try
you sing so ~sweetly its my only ~wish
music ~drips from your lips like sweet ~sips of a summer's kiss
(summer raindrops) so ~precious, toungues ~ twist ~ ~
CHORUS & REFRAIN
desert ~moonrise, into the ~night
before we ~lay our heads i wish, to walk under the ~splendorous starlight
sing so ~sweetly, it’s the sweetest ~sound
and I’ve become ~ weak in the knees, and I drop ~down and kiss the ground
and all my ~cares, lie far be~low
in this ~earth I wish to die, in this ~hearth my fire grows
(repeat chords twice: ~ ~ ~ ~, ~ ~ ~ ~)
