D          Am
Desert Sky
                D          Am
Dream beneath a desert sky
                     D             Am
The rivers run But soon run dry
                D      Am
We need new dreams tonight

D          Am
Desert rose
                D          Am
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
              D                  Am
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
      D                Am
Like a siren she calls to me

Em           G      D    Em        G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em       G           D    Em        G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

    D             Am
Set me alight
                         D                 Am
We'll punch a hole right through the night
             D           Am
Everyday the dreamers die
                     D          Am
To see what's on the other side

       D               Am
She is Liberty
                 D         Am
And she comes to rescue me
                D        Am
Hope faith, her vanity
                 D      Am
The greatest gift is gold

Em           G      D    Em        G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em       G           D    Em        G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

D           Am
Naked flame
                  D           Am
She stands with a naked flame
                 D            Am
I stand with the sons of Cain
              D             Am
Burned by the fire of love
               D             Am
Burned by the fire of love
               D             Am
                    love
