Desert Bloom

This is not my home, Isabelle
But I can see, sacred nights alone
Will always be
Written in my mind
Across my heart, like poison darts
Stinging me with tears
Through the years
Somehow, some day
I swear by the love we've lost
By your holy Brazilian cross

I will come back for you
Believe me, until I do
I will dream the shape of you
Watching the desert bloom
Time moves against my will
So my heart is standing still
I won't rest a day until
I'm watching the desert bloom

I have sworn
To serve my country well
Though now it seems, I have lost
My faith in war machines
My life and my hope
Remain in the love we've lost
By your holy Brazilian cross

I will come back for you
Believe me, until I do
I will dream the shape of you
Watching the desert bloom
Time moves against my will
So my heart is standing still
I won't rest a day until
I'm watching the desert bloom

The light in your eyes
Still shines within me now
Over a million miles
If you could hold back the tears
I'll keep you right here
With everything that I ever do
I'm waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin' for you

I will come back for you
Believe me, until I do
I will dream the shape of you
Watching the desert bloom
Time moves against my will
So my heart is standing still
I won't rest a day until
I'm watching the desert bloom
