Matthew - New Desert Blues

The love is gone where I belong

The earth below my feet

Cracks and shakes as I question

What it all means

Forsake my name and curse the day

You brought me to be

The river bends, but never ends

My life is incomplete.

I beg the night to end

This is hallowed ground, my friend

Watch the faith leave my bones

I practice what I preach

I spread the words like a plague

They send their lives to me

The dirt and dust fill my lungs

The people start to see

My method reigns for countless days

I try to set them free.

I beg the night to end

This is hallowed ground, my friend.

The love is gone where I belong

The earth below my feet

Cracks and shakes as I question

What it all means

Forsake my name and curse the day

You brought me to be

The river bends, but never ends

My life is incomplete.

The covered tracks inside the Jacks

To put my mind to rest

Leave me alone, with tired bones

We try to fix our mess.

I beg the night to end

This is hallowed groud, my friend.
