Ned Farr & The Good Red Road

Lyrics

Hotter than sand and smoother than glass
After the melting come undone in the room
With confidence
You’ll never hear the air conditioner and it’s Hopeless task
Or feel the glass break and return to sand
The sunburn on your smooth skin and the sweat
And all other consequences left unsaid
In the open desert spaces if it’s wet
It’s worth more than anything
And I feel the love in our secret place
But where are the answers
As you’re smiling in my face
Am I here to rescue or just replace?
How come always just after it’s clearer...
Oasis in the distance, in our heads
There’s more to this living than we get
But in the open desert spaces if it’s wet
It’s worth more than anything
Stay, why leave so soon?
I know somebody’s out there
Getting hurt by what we do
Well I guess I should feel it, but I never do
You can’t trust your feelings anyway...
One last “conversation” in this bed
And we’ll steal more from this moment
Than regret
’Cause in the open desert spaces if it’s wet
It’s worth more than anything
It’s worth more
