Cactus Flower

Cactus Flowers everywhere
Vultures circle in the air
No rain clouds for me today
Just the sun to blaze away
This mirage in front of me
Is it just the sand I see
Desert where nothing can grow
Cactus where the water flows
And quenches me
For you, I am so thirsty

I was so blind
The sun sat at noon
The moment you crossed my eyes
It was then that I knew
Oh, I knew about you

For forty days and forty nights
No happiness and no delight
Now my cup it overflows
My love for you my desert rose
But there's blood upon your thorn it shows
And up on your petals desert rose
Beggars of the past I know
They fail the test and then they go
And waste away
For you they were so thirsty

I was so blind
The sun sat at noon
The moment you crossed my eyes
It was then that I knew
Oh, I knew about you
