desert eyes - realtime lyrics

pretty as a picture of children in africa
she rises in the morning with yesterday’s eyes
her lover has left her longing in loneliness
she wants him so badly she misses his lies
i ain’t gonna cry
i ain’t gonna cry
these eyes are dry
these desert eyes
she walks through a wasteland of dreams and broken promises
where pimps, p-wns, and p-rno shops thrust neon to the sky
is she just invisible or so completely isolated
no-one cares to comfort her or even wonders why
i ain’t gonna cry
i ain’t gonna cry
these eyes are dry
these desert eyes
water smoothed the wrinkles of her time-worn face
was it the rain dripping from her hood
i could have offered shelter, perhaps a bite to eat
but the world was warm and dry from where i stood
and i didn’t want to frighten her
i didn’t have the time
i mean, what could i offer
but a moment’s peace of mind?
