A desert moon is shining On a road that's dim and quiet; Where I would sit and ponder, Through the stillness of the night.
On a stately little hillock Is a pile of gleaming sand; It lies in peaceful solitude And does not hint of man.
Where I can sit and watch the birthing Of a new day, fresh and bright; As with it's infant fingers It rolls back the shades of night.
I dream my dreams of yesteryear And things that might have been; And words that ne'er were spoken, And places I have seen.
Life is a desert day. It breaks in bright crescendo. It climbs in warmth, declines in peace, And ends in velvet splendor.
