Desert Rose
words & music: Robin Eschner

Standing in this open space
reaching for my angel's face
My angel
all I feel is fire
It's a tumble, a tumble
through the scattered bones
a landscape crumbled out of stones
and everywhere desire

By the time the sun goes down
the desert knows your name
and steals the sound away
from everything you claim
until silently the starlight shows
blossoms of the desert rose
open like a prayer
I will meet you there

And in the morning, the morning,
in glory with the sunrise
a wingbeat sounds across the sky
with not a bird in sight
My angel, my angel
with the glory of the sunrise
you can hear the sound of wings in flight
the only thing the sound of wings
My angel fly
and in the starlight
I will meet you

By the time the sun goes down
the desert knows your name
and steals the sound away
from every thing you claim
until silently the starlight shows
blossoms of the desert rose
Open like a prayer

I will meet you there
I will meet you
Let me meet you
and I will meet you there.
