Underneath the Blossom of a Desert Rose

Underneath The Blossom of a Desert Rose Underneath the blossom of a desert rose He gladly took another dose He lusted, lusted for her hungry look The way she read him like a book She was dancing in the summer rain After smoking crack cocaine He took off her teary clothes Underneath, the blossom of a desert rose Rising from the barren land Coloring the ancient sand Shelter for the one who tastes its gem Holding close his spotted hand Traveling to barren land Bathing in the ancient sand Cold will be the night But shelter for the one who tastes its gem Knees are digging through the holy ground Where her voice will long resound He lies still, and her eyes now close Underneath the blossom of a desert rose
