In God's Country

Desert sky Dream beneath a desert sky The rivers run but soon run dry We need new dreams tonight Desert rose Dreamed I saw a desert rose Dress torn in ribbons and in bows Like a siren she calls to me Sleep comes like a drug In God's Country Sad eyes, crooked crosses In God's Country Set me alight We'll punch a hole right through the night Everyday the dreamers die To see what's on the other side She is liberty And she comes to rescue me Hope, faith, her vanity The greatest gift is gold Naked flame She stands with a naked flame I stand with the sons of Cain Burned by the fire of love Burned by the fire of love
