I thought I'd grow a crop in the desert sand
I thought I could make it green
Share the harvest with everyone
But I could not
I thought I'd build a mansion on the hill
Thought I'd build a road straight and true
I thought it would get me next to you
But I, I could not
No, I could not
No, I could not
No I, I could not
No I, I could not
I thought I'd give you the touch of a father's
And understand the words in the Book of Love
I thought I'd sing a song for every man
But I-I-I could not
No, I could not
No, I could not
No, I-I could not
No, I-I could not
I thought I'd grow a crop in the desert sand
And share the harvest with everyone
But I-I could not
No, I could not
No, I could not
No, I could not
No I, I could not
No I, I could not
