Desert Moon

When the desert moon comes up
You are running out of luck
It gets dark and it gets rough
When that desert moon comes up
All the stars up in the sky
Are a million reasons why
Never chase after a lie
Hold that desert moon inside

There’s no serenity
Past the point of no return
There’s only bones and ashes on a pile
The angels here are flightless
All the road signs have been turned
There are bridges that you only cross one time

When the desert moon comes up
You are running out of luck
It gets cold and it gets tough
When that desert moon comes up
You have left the warm and bright
For a tiny speck of light
Never chase after a lie
Hold that hunger deep inside

Desert moon, crescent grey in the darkness
Someday soon it will be a distant promise
Desert moon, in a lonely corner of the universe

There are no mellow rivers
Past the point of no return
There’s only hills and mountains made of dust
The birds don’t sing their songs here
All the melody is gone
There are mistakes that you only make one time
One time

When the desert moon comes up
You are running out of luck
It gets dark and it gets rough
When that desert moon comes up
All the stars up in the sky
Are a million reasons why
Never chase after a lie
Hold that desert moon inside
