Desert Song |
LyricsDesert Song c) 1990 Susan C HaworthV1 So long so alone the desert sands drift a mile from my door Now and then I hear the caravans Sweep by me with a quiet roar So far so good on my tropical isle never thought I'd see another soul Maybe its time to go home Maybe its time to go home home again V2 Here we are together again don't the stars seem bright tonight the sky's on fire Thank God I live on the southern most isle cause no one will ever find me here So I sail from my paradise somewhere to the left of the sun Maybe its time to go home Maybe its time to go home home again Ch Love calls ..........voices in the breeze Love calls ..........singing back to me and me alone Love calls...........sing it loud sing it strong Love calls sing it strong Sing it just for me trumpet solo Light a flame with the song in my heart I know I'll find my way Heading back with the turn of the tide Red sky tonight Make those pirates pray Make those pirates pray Red Sky tonight. Love calls ...................home again x2 |
| Short Song Description: Haunting 6/8 tune with jazz inflections. Big sax solo, guitars, piano, rhythmic percussion and bass invoking a dreamy mood as if sailing on the sea. Call and answer backing vox and main vocal driving the mood of a solitary soul enjoying their isolation. |
| Story Behind the Song: Living on a desert island far from the maddening crowd. Blissful 6/8 tempo tune about isolation, but splendid isolation and being at one with nature. |
