In the evening
look to the desert sky
And you will hear them
lonesome coyotes cry
And you will see me
searching the cracked earth
For what will remind me
of a lost
little
girl
She and I once found it
all lit up by the moon
So bold and fragile
my baby's wedding boon
But like those petals
we were pulled apart
So I took my baby
to the desert
where I broke her little heart
Where are you my desert rose? I will find you
No one out here knows where you grow
but I will find you
Where are you my desert rose? Rose
desert rose
Now when I wake up
my body is drenched in sweat
And I hear her voice call
out from the desert heat
So I go searching'
for what I'm afraid to find
A little rose there
growing' out of the ground where my baby laid down and died
Now when I wake up
my body is drenched in sweat
And I hear her voice call
out from the desert heat
And I go searching'
for what I’m afraid to find
A little rose there
growing' out of the ground where my baby laid down and died
