desert girl - fai studios lyrics

Loading...

when i was young
i k!lled a man
i went on the run
with blood on my hands

when the story spread
of the man that i slayed
i knew i had to flee
i knew i couldn’t stay

under that eastern sun
i bid my life goodbye
i headed out
under those eastern skies

where can a man go
when he has no home
where can a man like me flee
but to the desert, beyond the red sea

when i was young
i met a girl
with her sisters and their flock
at the watering well

then i met her daddy
and he gave her away
there in a moment
i chose to stay
the problem was
she was a midian girl
not of abraham’s tribe
she wasn’t of my world

but it didn’t seem to matter
her daddy didn’t seem to mind
as i long as took her
and left my people behind

zipporah, my desert girl
zipporah, my midian girl
dancing in the evening light
with you under painted skies
embracing as the heat of day
dissipates and fades away
into the cool and dark of night
alone beneath the stars so bright
on the peaks of horeb’s heights
my mind it wanders and recites
as i remember days gone by
in these memories of mine
days there on the nile
when i was young

we made a family
we built a life
a k!ller and a desert girl
now man and wife
she gave birth to my sons
and we raised them her way
we didn’t circumcise them
but i chose the names

names telling the story
of my sojourning way
as a son of abraham
living in a land far away

the next forty odd years
in the heat and the sand
i was shepherding sheep
in that arabian land

in the shadow of mt sinai
our love blossomed and bloomed
though i didn’t even know you
our love how it grew
into something strong into something true
at least that’s what i thought until the
bridegroom of blood stood before me
before me and you
