Desert Cross

Words & Music by James Mark

Well it's early morning across the USA
Looking for a sign to light our way
Yellow sun, carry in the day
The lion sleeping, the city lies awake

Already cross the desert sand
Follow that California call
Youth just seem to slip right through our hand
Summers over now, the curtain falls.

Now we're riding down on a boarder town
Whiskey girl, bring another round.
Pushy boys in colors called the tune
Reverend mother, pass another slice of life
You know the boys are finished living way too soon

And they'll be standing hallowed ground
All of the black veiled mourning ones
Drums along the darkness through the town
Taking home boys to a setting sun
Take us back to hear the cowboy's song
