I want to sing about islands in the sea
I want to sing about spirals of greenery
I want to sing about beautiful scenery

but it's the desert the sings to me

I find my glory in the desert

In the evening
In the warm air with no one there
I find the quiet loud and the drumming

In my ears the softest of sounds

I want to sing about fortune on the shore

One hundred thousand settled scores
I want to sing about criminals reformed
But it's the desert I'm asking for


Never get away
