In God's Country
Desert sky, dream beneath the desert skyThe rivers run, but soon run dryWe need new dreams tonightDesert rose, dreamed I saw a desert roseDress torn in ribbons and bowsLike a siren she calls to me
Sleep comes like a drug in God's countrySad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country
Set me alight, we'll punch a hole right through the nightEvery day the dreamers die to see what's on the other sideShe is liberty, and she comes to rescue meHope, faith, her vanity, the greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug in God's countrySad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country
Naked flame, she stands with a naked flameI stand with the sons of CainBurned by the fire of love
