The Desert Song

THE DESERT SONG | Karl Broadie

words: karl broadie

music: karl broadie / michael roberts

i thought about a desert road

we drove on through the night

meteors were flyin’ by

i’ve got my cigarette

and you've got your cigarette

we wind down the windows on our way somewhere so desolate

there’ll be nobody for miles & miles

i wait for the good light

cause i wanna get it right

and i mess around with colours yeah

i’m waiting for the twilight

if i can figure out this camera

then i know it won’t be long

‘til i can put us in a picture frame

cause that’s where we belong

nobody’s gonna stop us dreamin’

ain’t that the dream

nobody’s gonna find us

you & me we’re leaving the scene

everybody knows

everybody knows

everybody knows

half of us are right some of the time

ain’t that how it goes?

there’ll be nobody for miles & miles

i wait for the good light

cause i wanna get it right

and i mess around with colours yeah

i’m waiting for the twilight

if i can figure out this camera

then i know it won’t be long

‘til i can put us in a picture frame

cause that’s where we belong

that’s where we belong

i thought about a letter

yeah maybe i’ll write it soon

but i don’t know

if i can put it down in words

maybe i’ll just call you and say

i’m comin’ round

i’m comin’ round

you & me

we’re leavin’this town

there’ll be nobody for miles & miles

i wait for the good light

cause i wanna get it right

and i mess around with colours yeah

i’m waiting for the twilight

if i can figure out this camera

then i know it won’t be long

‘til i can put us in a picture frame

cause that’s where we belong

oh yeah

oh yeah

that’s where we belong

oh yeah
