Ben Lee - In The Desert Lyrics
When I am olderWhen I am 94Im gonna die in the desertThats what the deserts forAnd therell be no waterNo rain, no hail, no tearscos it never rains in the desertLike it has where I live hereI look up and see a million stars in the skyNot a sound but the ringing in my ears when I dieIn the desertThats what the deserts forWhen I am olderWhen I am 98Im gonna die in the cityThats why the citys greatAnd therell be no silenceTo make me stop and fearcos its never quiet in the cityLike it is where I live hereI look out and see all the traffic passing byThe smog in the air and the lightsWhen I die in the cityThats why the citys greatWhen I am olderWhen I am 99Im gonna die in the countryThats why the countrys mineAnd therell be no concreteJust green trees and some cowscos its never hard in the countryLike it is where I live nowBut if I die tonight in my bedStill in this townAnd all these sounds in my headIll never have been to the desert, the city the country to die thereBecause I was busy and blindAnd I did not find the timeAnd I would not have felt alive
