Outside of Albuquerque, "Bout an hour north of there
|
She's got a house full of three little Indians
|
In the middle of nowhere
|
You wonder where her man went, you wonder if she minds
|
They've got smiles and healthy tummies
|
So you guess they're doing fine
|
She sells jewelry by the roadside, silver beads and things
|
She can weave a spell upon you with any song she sings
|
|
Oh, she's a desert flowers, growing free and wild
|
Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child
|
And you wanna take her with you
|
But you know she must remain
|
So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
|
Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain
|
You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
|
|
Her kids were playing leapfrog, jumping in the sand
|
I pulled my car off the road and parked beside her stand
|
She asked where I was going so fast and far alone
|
I told her how love was something
|
I wasn't sure I'd ever known
|
She said, "Maybe you never heard the desert
|
Sing her song at night
|
Or maybe you just been trying much too hard to get it right"
|
|
Oh, she's a desert flowers, and growing free and wild
|
Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child
|
And you wanna take her with you
|
But you know she must remain
|
So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
|
Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain
|
You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
|
|
(Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain)
|
(You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain)
|
|
I'm wavin' in my rear-view mirror
|
Then the next thing that I know
|
Are the broken lines on a black highway off to another show
|
|
Oh, she's a desert flowers, and growing free and wild
|
Her beauty seems so fragile, fragile as a child
|
And you wanna take her with you
|
But you know she must remain
|
So you leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
|
Turn yourself into the rain, turn yourself into the rain
|
You leave her wishing you could turn yourself into the rain
|
