High and Dry (Lament)
Another night in this desert land
Sticky sleep on a bed of sand
Fever dreams of some water
They don't come true
Another day in this wilderness
Wide horizon of loneliness
I reach my hand to where Heaven is
But there's no You
I'm trying to breathe but I'm choking
The air feels like promises broken
I can't help the feeling You left me
High and dry
I left home oh so long ago
I thought that You would be with me though
Now I can't even remember
How it used to be
No second set of prints this time
Only heels digging in are mine
No sweet songs of the Promised Land
Since You abandoned me
I'm trying to breathe but I'm choking
The air feels like promises broken
I can't help the feeling You left me
High and dry
Sticky sleep on a bed of sand
Fever dreams of some water
They don't come true
Another day in this wilderness
Wide horizon of loneliness
I reach my hand to where Heaven is
But there's no You
I'm trying to breathe but I'm choking
The air feels like promises broken
I can't help the feeling You left me
High and dry
I left home oh so long ago
I thought that You would be with me though
Now I can't even remember
How it used to be
No second set of prints this time
Only heels digging in are mine
No sweet songs of the Promised Land
Since You abandoned me
I'm trying to breathe but I'm choking
The air feels like promises broken
I can't help the feeling You left me
High and dry
