On the first part of the journey
|
I was looking at all the life
|
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
|
There was sand and hills and rings
|
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
|
And the sky with no clouds
|
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
|
But the air was full of sound
|
|
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
|
It felt good to be out of the rain
|
In the desert you can remember your name
|
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
|
La, la...
|
|
After two days in the desert sun
|
My skin began to turn red
|
After three days in the desert fun
|
I was looking at a river bed
|
And the story it told of a river that flowed
|
Made me sad to think it was dead
|
|
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
|
It felt good to be out of the rain
|
In the desert you can remember your name
|
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
|
La, la...
|
|
After nine days I let the horse run free
|
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
|
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
|
there was sand and hills and rings
|
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
|
And a perfect disguise above
|
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
|
But the humans will give no love
|
|
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
|
It felt good to be out of the rain
|
In the desert you can remember your name
|
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
|
La, la...
