Painted Desert

I hear your heartbeat, but you're never there Like a mirage you haunt me everywhere All day long I burn for you, lonely in the night I tried to live alone, but I just can't get it right Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert Dead heat, movin' in the city I'm lost in a painted desert In a painted desert without you I've done some thinkin', now that you're not here I know your reasons and they're still not clear All I'm sure of is what I got to lose I tried to be a better loser but it's just no use Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert Dead heat, movin' in the city I'm lost in a painted desert In a painted desert without you Walk in the sundown, I search in vain Waitin' on the wind that whispers out your name Through concrete canyons echoing a world of other faces No direction looks like home, where is my oasis? Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert Dead heat, movin' in the city I'm lost in a painted desert In a painted desert without you In a painted desert without you Where is my oasis?
