Lyrics Desert Blues - Cee Cee James

Desert Blues

cactus, dry dusty winds
clean blue sky and silence that never ends
miles and miles of open land
my mind takes me back to where I been
I could hear my hunger when coyote sang
I could feel my tears in the desert rain
I could see my life in the endless miles
laid out before me in some well intentioned plan
Hot mid-day sun, burnin’Desert Blues
Black mid-night moon, lonely Desert Blues
Out there in no man’s land, that’s where I found the truth
life lay’n still all around me
full moon shinin’down in the night
knowin’that i had to find the answers
‘cause things in my life wasn’t right
Hot mid-day sun burnin’Desert Blues …
Black mid-night moon, lonely Desert Blues
Way out in no man’s land, when I called out to you
Help me change my ways, teach me how to be true
you see i really didn’t know how to live life clean
I only knew how to play it to benefit me
blind deaf and dumb frontin’insecure pride
that’s when the desert called and opened my selfish eyes
long endless days full of nothing
out there… so it seemed at the time
it took 10 more years of confusion
to finally lay my heart on the line
Hot mid-day sun, oh burnin’Desert Blues …
Black mid-night moon, ah low down lonely Desert Blues
Way out in no man’s land when I called out to you
Help me find my way, teach me how to be true
Hot mid-day sun, yah burnin’Desert Blues, dusty low down Desert Blues
Black mid-night moon, ah lonely Desert Blues, lonely Desert Blues
Way out in no man’s land, when I called out to you
Out there in no man’s land, that’s where I found the truth
