A Song for You

Meet me in the desert
Just outside of town
By the burned out music hall
Sitting by the doorway
As I play my songs
I'm sure you've heard them all before

I couldn't stand to work today
It's all been such a drag
When you're getting torn down to the bone
Now I see it'll be alright
There's no holding back
You and I are just now free to roam

I seem to get a kick being here with you
Every time we seem to grow
Closer and closer
Each day feels so new
Where it comes from, dear, we just don't know
I wish time moved slow
When we're sitting here together
In this fading desert glow

You don't hold me from nothing
You never hold me down
As I sing this song for you
We may have our off days
And feel stuck on our own
Like we may not make it through

But we always find a way to flee from it all
Desert wind and starlight feels so fine
Though tomorrow's another day
We always make it good
Knowing here and now that you are mine

I still seem to get a thrill being here with you
Every time we seem to grow
Closer and closer
Each night feels so new
Where it comes from we don't care to know
I wish time moved slow
When we're laying here together
In this brightening desert glow
