desert where her heart is

Lyrics

in another life i saw her, struggling with demons she didn't understand, she searched for her lifeline, but every room she entered was like a foreign land, through other people's houses, as unfamiliar as the palm of her hand, the love that she dreamed of. she struggled to understand, but she's making her way, across the plains and the cities of the night, it's somewhere in the centre of her, she's craving the secret, she always returns, to the desert where her heart is, way out in the back blocks she's looking for a sign, it was the crime of the century, she chewed at the trap. tried to leave the past behind, but there's laughter inside her, hear it echo in the hills all around, somebody's watching her, see the tiny footprints she leaves on the ground, but she's making her way, across the plains and the cities of the night, she's searching for love, it lies somewhere 'neath the wide open sky, but a jealous god is watching her, as the clouds descend in her mind, don't stand in the way of her, or you'll find yourself sharing the rations of despair, in the desert where her heart is, oh the slow passing of time, can anything stand in its way?, only her story and her laughter will last, in the desert where her heart is, voices all around her are calling her home, nobody can stop her now, somebody saw her just the other day, she was running late again, she was draggin' her feet, though peace of mind was waiting at the corner of the street.
