I'll be laying low tonight
Somewhere off the desert, somewhere off the sand
The Santa Ana winds are close at hand
Oh the wind is weary, oh the summer long
You are bound to hear the desert song
Sundown the sky is burning
Sundown I wonder why
Ten million stars go by
Sundown the sky is yearning
Sundown and so am I
Ten million stars know why
Sundown
Sometimes in the eve, sometimes in the morn
You'll find a moment and for a moment all is calm
Hear the desert breathe, hear the desert sigh
The sweetest tune among the dune, her lullaby
I'll be laying low tonight
Sundown the sky is burning
Sundown I wonder why
Ten million stars go by
Sundown the sky is yearning
Sundown and so am I
Ten million stars know why
Sundown
The sky is burning
The sky is yearning
And if the stars don't show
I'll be laying low tonight
