In The Desert — текст песни (Ben Lee)

When I am older

When I am 94

Im gonna die in the desert

Thats what the deserts for

And therell be no water

No rain, no hail, no tears

cos it never rains in the desert

Like it has where I live here



I look up and see a million stars in the sky

Not a sound but the ringing in my ears when I die

In the desert

Thats what the deserts for



When I am older

When I am 98

Im gonna die in the city

Thats why the citys great

And therell be no silence

To make me stop and fear

cos its never quiet in the city

Like it is where I live here



I look out and see all the traffic passing by

The smog in the air and the lights

When I die in the city

Thats why the citys great



When I am older

When I am 99

Im gonna die in the country

Thats why the countrys mine



And therell be no concrete

Just green trees and some cows

cos its never hard in the country

Like it is where I live now

But if I die tonight in my bed

Still in this town

And all these sounds in my head

Ill never have been to the desert, the city the country to die there

Because I was busy and blind

And I did not find the time

And I would not have felt alive
