Stranded Too Long
Wandered through this Desert so Long Drank
Mirage fountains
Choked down so much sand…
if you hand me water
And I knock it out of your hand,
Remember
I've been stranded Too Long…
It may take a while for me to know what is
Real,
Sometimes I just want to lay down…
Close my eyes...and wait for the wind
To blow me Away
