Rayland Baxter Lady Of The Desert
Yesterday I'm staring out my window
Wishing I was home in Tennessee
But I'm the only one here with my shadow
And my shadow is the only one with me
Maybe I was wrong about the mountains
And maybe I was wrong about the breeze
Waking up each day inside my canyon
With the morning sun as far as I can see
Bye bye Randy Grambo
Bye bye to you old friend
I hope to see you in the morning once again
Lady of the desert can you hear me?
For I've been knocking on your cellar door
I've come to wonder if you will release me
For you know I don't belong here anymore
Maybe I was wrong about the valley
And maybe I was wrong about the stars
These days I keep them hidden in my memory
They remind me of the dreamer that I was
Bye bye Magdalena
Bye bye to you old friend
I hope to see you in the morning once again
I could throw a stone and skip it cross the ocean
Or I could wander round the desert every night
I've begun to wonder if you'll ever notice
That I've been waiting round for what seems another life
Bye bye to the sailor
Bye bye to you old friend
I hope to see you in the morning once again
Once again, once again
