Grab my knee and look at me 
And try to tell me I`ll be home soon 
Asleep in my bed and unstoned 
I`m tired of me this way 
I don`t know what I`ve gotten into 
But I`m glad it`s now instead of sooner 
This desert heat has crowded me strong 
With a wish I had for winter 
It`s not as gentle as it sounds 
As though it sounded yesterday 
When I heard a leaf of my life hit the ground 
And as a bottle cap flew from my fingers 
I don`t know what I`ve gotten in to 
But I`m glad it`s now instead of sooner 
This desert heat has crowded me strong 
With a wish I had for winter 
..And the sands blew in my eyes 
I stood on the edge and looked down to see 
The light of a new life, shinning up on me 
...With a wish that I had 
The sand blew in my eyes
