Struggling with Desire? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
The sun Blowing the moon away Lights me up for One more day The streets are naked In the morning sun The night lifts behind me I run and run Morning heat Puts a thin film of sweat on my face A little man, his eyes half closed Puts chairs on tables Admires his work And collects a quarter from the floor I head over to Broadway Where I watch myself Having a slow breakfast Trying to impress the barman with a fresh voice When I ask for the bill The sun Blowing the moon away Lights me up for One more day The streets are naked In the morning sun The night lifts behind me I run and run Desire Desire for the unknown eyes Desire for the unknown name I'm burning in the morning sun, I want to run Desire for the unknown name Desire for the unknown love I'm burning in the morning sun
