I Was A Desert-Various Artists

I was a desert Until I learned to make the sky Rain down on me And I was a barren field Until I planted myself with borrowed seed You, you're a strong one They say you brown lead and mess with your teeth But even a strong one gets lonely at night When he can't sleep All night long I did my kan to mek From calling out your name Don't you know the voice of the one Who brought you tea in the early dawn? I watch you sleeping Like a lion at night So gently your breath When you awaken Your shouting would startle the birds from their nest. You did not know. You did not see.
