The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there And I'm walking towards the water, steaming, body cold and bare But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed And he pain that's in your truth deceiving me has got me scared Oh, why? (oh, why?) Oh, why? (oh, why?) Oh Through your eyes, the strains of battle like a brooding storm You're up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never forms My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray I see you now a vague deception of a dying day Oh, why? Oh, why? Ooh, ooh, ah, ah, ah I fall into the water and once more I turn to you And the crowds were standing, staring faceless cutting off my view to you They start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime And I'm lost inside this tangled web on which I'm lain entwined You're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web on which I'm lain entwined Oh, why? Oh, why? Ooh, ooh Ah, ah, ah, ah Ooh, ooh Ah, ah, ah, ah
