^Bm If I'm a desert, my face is the wind. I know where I'm going and I know where I've been. ^A You're the horizon and the wide open space and I surround you caressing your face. ^Bm There's not a limit to the things that I'd do. I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do. ^A You're like the lava burning buried below. An eruption but too early to show.
