The Desert

(carly simon/mike mainieri)



I was in the desert

Amazed by all that sand

I as in a sea of white

Swimming through the land

Nobody shocked me

Nobody locked me up

Nobody took my time

Nobody shook me up

All that happened was the white night

The endless sand in the moonlight



I was in the desert

In the opalescent moon

Watching the horizon

And waiting for the moon

Nobody talked to me

Nobody looked me up

Nobody walked up to me

Nobody shook me up

All that happened was the white night

The endless sand in the moonlight



I was in the desert

Free to live or die

Looking in the mirror

And seeing just the sky

Nobody got to me

Nobody said what to me

Nobody shoved me

Nobody loved me



All that happened was the white night

The endless sand and the moonlight
