I crossed the desert with a virgin bride In cut off jeans and a smile so wide It lightened up the sky above As she leaped from the jeep into his arms She don't say no he's got a factory Dealing in tokens and memories Souvenirs to hold dear Dangling from his key ring chain We climbed into the eye of the sleeping beast Laid out in stone for all eternity Do you believe she asked of me I can believe if you do We danced on a ridge Like a knife so sharp Kicking up the soft sand With our stubborn hearts Are we free at last Or are we on the run Will we raise the winds Or drift away Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun He set up a tent and he lit a fire She wanted to stay out and watch the stars On the ridge she took my hand Tracing the lines in my palm You will travel over many lands I will stay here and raise his sons But tonight we are alike Bathing in the same moonlight We danced on a ridge Like a knife so sharp Kicking up the soft sand With our stubborn hearts Are we free at last Or are we on the run Will we raise the winds Or drift away Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun Like dust in the desert sun
