Desert Dogs

Please trust me to make my decisions
 Leave them all to beg for less
 Slow talk and superstition
 The night nests down low as can be
 The stars crowd 'round just to see that
 When you dream, you dream alone
 If you dream, you dream alone as you say
 (Sleep steals away) to drink the cup
 You give of yourself
 (So blessed to) it stains your lips
 The thirst never leaves you
 It burns as a fever
 Fingers draw lines in red clay
 Track oil-filled steps for prey
 Black dogs do come runnin'
 Depart, lost to what you seek
 The heart grasps at how to speak
 This place was left to nature
 To god, you're nothing but a stranger
 Travel won't slow the hunt
 The hands of time give no shelter
 Only ghosts, they come to meet you
 When you dream, you dream alone
 If you dream, you dream alone as you say
 Sleep steals away, so blessed to
 (Sleep steals away) to drink the cup
 You give of yourself
 (So blessed to) it stains your lips
 The thirst never leaves you
 It burns as a fever
 Stay warm
 Eyes open
 I feel as you
 So blessed to
