D          Am
Desert Sky
                 D          Am
Dream beneath a desert sky
                    D          Am
The rivers run but soon run dry
              D           Am
We need new dreams tonight
 D         Am
Desert rose
                 D         Am
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
               D             Am
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
        D              Am
Like a siren she calls to me

Chorus:
Em           G      D    Em          G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em         G       D    Em            G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
See what's on the other side
She is Liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold

Chorus

Naked flame,
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
