The Desert Sky

A man with no name No water, no shade The sun burns his face An empty dried-up lake He walks a long way He didn't win today He looks down at his gun What has his life become And he walks along a long and dusty road The desert sky awaits his soul to come And the world sure hasn't been too kind to him All this time all that he needed was a friend He makes it to town And when he sits down His eyes catch a face Extends his hand to shake Her eyes shine like the sun He feels his heart beat like a drum She sees a broken man So she takes him by the hand And he walks along a long and dusty road The desert sky awaits his soul to come And the world sure hasn't been too kind to him All this time all that he needed was a friend
