lyrics

going down to the desert
she's been calling my name
don't know what i'll find there
just got to get out of this rain
it's a journey i should have taken many years ago
just got a good reason reason to pack it up and go

cuz i can't see myself from here
through the fog and the mist and the tears
cuz i can't see myself very clear
and the time of change is drawing near

you don't know where i'm going
cuz you don't know where i've been
until you know my beginnings
how can you know my ends
i come from bitter darkness,
and i'm moving into the light
making peace with all my pieces
and a thousand dreamless nights

and i can't hear your voice from here
and i can't make a choice from here
and i can't see the end from here
and i know i will transcend my fear

i have been a child of dark northwestern rain
brooding melancholy, tears upon my windowpane
but i hear the sun, she's calling me to sand and sweat and sky
i will raise my arms in ecstacy, and let my spirit fly

and the questions in my heart disappear
as i look into your mirror
and the visions are becoming so clear
distance known and finally near

i did not know that i was penned until i saw the gate
now i run to freedom, no more time to hesitate
fences, walls and razor wire, memories of pain
i can leave it all behind me now, rusting in the rain

and the sun on my soul feels fine
and the time on my mind is kind
and the lines we have drawn are fine
so won't you pour me one more glass of dark red wine
