I'm the desert, you're the rain

When I'm cracked and dry you ease my pain

When my aching body crumbles

Wanting of a peaceful refrain

I whisper to you softly

I'm the desert you're the rain



Chorus:

It happened long ago

When I was just a boy of seventeen

You were a woman schooled in love and finer things

You took me by the hand and we danced through

Each others dreams

And I whispered to you softly

I'm the desert, you're the rain



When my firebrand soul lashes out in vain

The sky opens up and you cool me again

When my windswept mind cannot seem to find the way

I whisper to you softly

I'm the desert you're the rain



I'm the desert, you're the rain

When I'm cracked and dry you ease my pain

When my aching body crumbles

Wanting of a peaceful refrain

I whisper to you softly

I'm the desert you're the rain
