In God’s Country – The Almost

Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
I dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn up in ribbons and in bows
Like a Siren, she calls to me

Sleep comes like a drug
In God’s country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God’s country

Set me alight
We’ll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday, the dreamers die
To see what’s on the other side
She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
Her greatest gift is gold

Sleep comes like a drug
In God’s country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God’s country

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
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
