Rain in the Desert

Lyrics

Rain in the desert How come you didn’t call me? Word is you’re back in town Wuz it cuz that thing last summer? When our lives went crashing down? I’d met you down in Quartzsite You’d just found your Lucky Strike And the money flowed like desert rain In a swollen wash, as the water raged There’s rain in the desert But it turned into a flood What’s nourishing for others Became a lightening flash, a clash of flesh and blood And the rain drowned the fire That was burning you and me It’s that rain in the dessert I still see the day I met you I was cool and you were brash You had a plan, you had intentions All we had to do, was go get that cash So we stormed the bank at high noon Guns a blazing side by side And we got away – for those two short days When the money flowed, caviar and wine There’s rain in the desert But it turned into a flood What’s nourishing for others Became a lightening flash, a clash of flesh and blood And the rain drowned the fire That was burning you and me It’s that rain in the dessert We stood in rising waters Looking eye to eye Too afraid to help each other Too afraid to watch it die
