Joshua Kadison - Desert Flower Lyrics
Outside of Albuquerque, about an hour north of thereShes got a house of three little Indians in the middle of nowhereYou wonder where her man went, you wonder if she mindsTheyve got smiles and healthy tummies, so you guess theyre doing fineShe sells jewelry by the roadside, silver beads and thingsShe can weave a spell upon you with any song she singsShes a desert flower growing free and wildHer beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a childAnd you want to take her with you, but you know she must remainSo you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rainTurn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rainYou leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rainHer kids were playing leapfrog, jumping in the sandI pulled my car off the road and parked beside her standShe asked where I was going so fast and so aloneI told her how love was something I wasnt sure Id ever knownShe said: Maybe you never heard the desert sing her song at nightOr maybe youve just been trying much too hard to get it rightShes a desert flower growing free and wildHer beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a childAnd you want to take her with you, but you know she must remainSo you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rainTurn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rainYou leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rainWaving in my rear-view mirrorThen the next thing that I knowAre the broken lines on a long, black highwayOff to another showShes a desert flower growing free and wildHer beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a childAnd you want to take her with you, but you know she must remainSo you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rainTurn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rainYou leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
