Adam - New Desert Blues

In the winter I lie awake

I’m sleeping through the day

The days they seem so short

Being followed by the law

There’s a man outside my house

Searching for my whereabouts

He carries chains around his neck

And a rope to pay my debt

You know my body’s on the run

Follow my setting sun

Please lead me now and take me home

Below the cruel, cruel world

Where the only thing we know

Is over now

We’re on our own

I’ve been hiding for countless weeks

Running out of things to eat

My body turns to skin and bone

Was it worth my weight in gold?

Does the mirror show my face

Or a mask I can’t replace

I look deep within my soul

I see a man I still don’t know

You know my body’s on the run

Follow my setting sun

Please lead me now and take me home

Below the cruel, cruel world

Where the only thing we know

Is over now

We’re on our own

You know my body’s on the run

Follow my setting sun

Please lead me now and take me home

Below the cruel, cruel world

Where the only thing we know

Is over now

We’re on our own
