Desert Skies lyrics
by The Walkabouts
Blacklight fades
Headlights switched off
The engine burns
As we're rollin' to a stop
Let's get out here
Lie down in the middle of road
Ain't no cars comin'
Only stars
And stars alone
The city at our backs
Did you really think that it would last?
Heaven's trace
A trail of starlight gone
The city best forgotten
Did the wind hit you in the eye?
Or were you just about to cry?
Desert skies......
This ain't the place to turn around
Never even said goodbye
Desert skies......
A day so hot it seemed
Like the rocks could sing
The sky so flat it seemed there was
Nothin' in the wings
