[Chorus 1] In the desert there’s a thousand things I want to say to you Stretched across the river rock Where the waters once flowed through The sunlight on our faces The pictures rolling by In the desert there’s a thousand things I want to say to you
[Verse 1] You and I Could find our way I was a long-shot baby But that’s okay We’re on open road Don’t cost no fare There’s gold in the city But we just don’t care Close your eyes And meet me there
[Chorus 1] In the desert there’s a thousand things I want to say to you Stretched across the river rock Where the waters once flowed through The sunlight on our faces The pictures rolling by In the desert there’s a thousand things I want to say to you
[Verse 2] You and I Could stay the night We took a wrong turn baby But we got it right You were an open book And I turned your page Baby I don’t want To go back that way Close your eyes Close your eyes And drift away
[Chorus 2] In the desert there’s a thousand things I want to say to you Stretched across the river rock Where the waters once flowed through The sunlight on our faces Look at everything that’s come and gone In the desert there’s a thousand things I want to say to you
