A Desert In The Heart Lyrics

A Desert In The Heart lyrics

lost- he's surely lost now

when he tries to strip himself of a past

that keeps holding on

so many times before I've tried to let go

to peel off deception's mask

but hid my fears behind walls of sorrow

and like a cold, bitter chill one cannot shake

disillusionment sits by my side

(so in her I must confide)

she tells me dark secrets and grim tales of regrets

she tells me:



love is not lost, it dies like all things do

buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries



alone - no one to share her days with

she chokes on the stale dry air of memories

she chokes on the words she says to no one at night

and whispers her questions to the walls

and drifts to sleep

no one there to share her dreams



and oh how it hurts to see tears fall from her eyes



into the desert some are sent to starve

weary and weak they make their way home

and though our tired hearts will bear the scars

let us find who we are



buried in the night's shadows

I await the dawn of a new day

hold my hand, come with me

to the skies let us shout battle hymns

lust and love waging war to the very end

let us stomp on heavens below

let us not be afraid (for life wears a new face)



love is not lost, it dies like all things do

buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries

and waits for broken wings to heal...to fly again someday
