I'm the desert, you're the rain When I'm cracked and dry you ease my pain When my aching body crumbles Wanting of a peaceful refrain I whisper to you softly I'm the desert you're the rain Chorus: It happened long ago When I was just a boy of seventeen You were a woman schooled in love and finer things You took me by the hand and we danced through Each others dreams And I whispered to you softly I'm the desert, you're the rain When my firebrand soul lashes out in vain The sky opens up and you cool me again When my windswept mind cannot seem to find the way I whisper to you softly I'm the desert you're the rain I'm the desert, you're the rain When I'm cracked and dry you ease my pain When my aching body crumbles Wanting of a peaceful refrain I whisper to you softly I'm the desert you're the rain
