THE DESERT

I open my eyes and look out  my tent           
as I sigh and do it all again                                                                                                                   
Me and my camel see nothing but sand                  
Feel nothing but fur                                                       
Hear nothing but the people in the market                                          
The ride was an earthquake shaking me side to side                                                       
Everything is gathered, home isn’t far                                                                                                                                                                    

It was a nightmare                                                        
Taste nothing but dry air and sand                     
Smell nothing but camel breath                                                                                                                         
After dinner I look at the moon                               
Wondering what a fair life is like                             
The desert is a dangerous creature                                  
Then I pass out then it starts again
