I've been living in the desert Been counting all the stars Been riding where the wind blows Been cursing in the dark I am shouldering a burden One that bends me 'til I break When I'm drowning in the ocean I wish that I could fly away I woke up somewhere in Texas On the road to someplace else Then I stared off at a mountain Feeling sorry for myself And I wonder how you're sleeping In our bed on this cold day I'm so tired of being lonely I wish that I could fly away Once I wandered near the river On a crystal afternoon And I thought about the future Yeah I thought about the truth I know I can't live forever But you make me wanna stay So I'll do my best to hold you Then one day we'll both fly away
