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

Desert Sunrise

A desert sunrise, you warm my soul,
painting me in shades of clay, covering me whole.
And I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance.
I come out of hiding, so sweet, so sweet you are.
If I could only have a taste, wrap my lips around your flavor,
just because you are you,
just because you are, so beautiful.

And 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 mist of the 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.
And we'll cross that bridge again some day,
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 summer's kiss.
Summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist.

And 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 and you spoke through the mist 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 some day,
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've 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 hearth my fire grows.
