Timothy Sullivan - Desert Lyrics

To sun
Breathing fire
Falling rain
Enfolding
Earth

Our lips are dry
Riverbeds cracked by the sun
Dust settling in stillness
Thirsting for fresh streams

Rain down
Love rain down

Our arms are dry
Bones bereft of marrow
This flesh a shadow
Stretching toward your body
Brittle so brittle your memory

Rain down
Rain love down

Our eyes are dry
Caverns without light or air
Like burial sites
Our gifts have been
Broken and stolen

Rain down
Rain down love

These seeds are dry
Waiting to explode
This womb is dry
Earth unseeded
Fallen fallow
Awaiting your return
Bring rain
Rain love down rain down

Rain come down
