Текст песни: I Was A Desert + перевод

I was a desert until I learned

To make the sky rain down on me

And I was a barren field until

I planted myself with borrowed seed

You, you’re a strong one

They say you ground lead into dust with your teeth

But even a strong one

Gets lonely at night when he can’t sleep

All night long I bit my tongue

To keep from calling out your name

Saying don’t you know the voice of the one

Who brought you tea in the early dawn

I’d watch you sleeping

Like a lion at rest, so gentle your breath

But when you’d awaken

Your shouting would startle the birds from their nest

You did not know

You did not see
