winding fury in half-light morning

desert winds of jezebel, home again

she will drape the jewels from your praying hands

entice you to the flawlessness of her homeland

where the sun-bronzed women come

come to set the earth afire

with the powers of their own hands

they shall run but they shall never tire

desert winds of jezebel

bring me home again

you lift me higher than the night

and bring me down again

a mother love so strong

it tears the tired souls from their graves

it lifts them higher than the night

and brings them home again

you give me hope

you give me life

give me your hope

where the sun-bronzed women come

come to set the earth afire

with the powers of their own hands

they shall run but they shall never tire

so let the flowers dance and the wild skies rain

let the great seas give homage

oh jezebel - i have returned

a mother love so strong

it tears the tired souls from their graves

it lifts them higher than the night

and brings them home again.
