Desert Sunrise

Brett Dennen · Brett Dennen [2005]

A desert sunrise, you warm my soul

Painting me in shades of clay

Covering me whole

Oh, I'm a lizard

Sunbathing in

Your radiance

Oh I'm crawling out of hiding

So sweet so sweet you are

If i could only have a taste

Rap my lips around your flavor

Just because you are

Just because you are

So beautiful

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

And I know I am young, but I don't want to be alone

If you could only just consider the two of us

And I know darling I could be so good to you



I See you rising on the horizon

Bringing light into the day

And I'm coasting on your rays

When I awoke you spoke through the midst of a mystic bliss

Casting shadows on all my dismal yesterdays

Do you remember that you told me darling that I was so real

I tell you all my tears for you are real

We'll cross that bridge again someday

I know we will

I hope we will



Desert sunset a lullaby

If I could give it all to you

If you'd only let me try

Sing so sweetly

It's my only wish

Music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summers kiss

Summer raindrops precious tongues twist



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

And I know I am young, but I don't want to be alone

If you could only just consider the two of us

And I know darlin I could be so good to you



I See you risin' on the horizon

Bringin' light into the day

And I'm coastin' on your rays

When I awoke you spoke through the midst of a mystic bliss

Casting shadows on all my dismal yesterdays

Do you remember that you told me darlin that I was so real

I tell you all my tears for you are real

We'll cross that bridge again someday

I know we will

I hope we will



Desert moonrise into the night

Before we lay our heads I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight

Sing so sweetly

It's the sweetest sound

And I become weak in the knees

And I drop down and kiss the ground

And all my cares lie far below

In this earth I wish to die

In this heart my fire grows
