The desert drew a breath though the open window
The zephyrs raising dust beyond the plateau
In the kind of sunrise I never thought I'd wake up alone
From the veranda I gazed to the horizon
Beyond the cactuses where our star was arising
On the sort of dawn that I'd never thought I'd find her gone
I'll watch the wind wherever you fly
If this really is goodbye
I'll catch a glimpse in your twilit eye
As the moon silvers the sky
The heat of the day shimmered like a river
Squinting in the sun I could only shiver
On the kind of day where the rays are scorching the stone
The failing sky light painted the dunes to the canyon
The stars alight were my lonesome companion
On the sort of night where I wondered where she'd flown
