         C                    Bm
A desert sunrise, you warm my soul

           Em7                   D
  painting me in shades of clay, covering me whole.

          C                   Bm         
And I'm a lizard, sun bathing in

           Em7         D
  your radiance.  Oh I call you out of hiding.

   C                   Bm
So sweet, so sweet you are.

             Em7                        D
  If I could only have a taste, wrap my lips around your flavor.

     C                                     Bm
Just because you are you, just because you are,

           Em7             D
  So beautiful...

And I've been waiting all this life, in the company of one,

                C/G               B/G         Am7      B/G
and I know I am young but I don't want to be alone.

             C/G  B/G      Am7              B/G
If you could only just, consider the two of us,

           C/G             B/G           Am7           B/G
and I know darling I could be so good to you.

B/G                Em9(no 5)
I see you risin', upon the horizon,

           Cmaj7                       Am7
  bringin' light into the day and I am, coastin' on your rays.

B/G                                Em9(no 5) 
When I awoke you spoke through the mist of a misty bliss,

          Cmaj7       Am7
  casting shadows, on all my dismal yesterdays.

B/G                              Em9(no 5)
Do you remember that you told me darlin',

             Cmaj7                Am7
  that I was so real?  I tell you all my tears for you are real.

B/G                                   Em9(no 5)
And we'll cross that bridge again someday.

            Cmaj7           Am7 > > 
  I know we will, I hope we will.

         C              Bm
A Desert sunset, a lullaby.

             Em7                          D
  If I could give it all to you, if you'd only let me try.

            C                    Bm
You sing so sweetly, its my only wish.

        Em7                             D
  Music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss (summer raindrops) 

   C                  Bm    
so precious, Tongues twist.

       C                  Bm
Desert moonrise, into the night.

            Em7                                     D
  Before we lay our heads to rest, I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight.

        C                          Bm
Sing so sweetly, it’s the sweetest sound,

           Em7                                  D
  and I’ve become weak in the knees, and I drop down and kiss the ground.

           C              Bm
And all my cares, lie far below.

          Em7                          D
  In this earth I wish to die, in this hearth my fire grows.
