Analysis of Desert Love
Brenda K Ramirez 1961 (Tx)
I hear the desert land calling me
It's calling me to come see
It's beauty beyond measure and time
It's my reason and my rhyme
Land of beauty and land of dreams
My mind wanders in picturesque schemes
I long for you and will someday return
Until then my desire shall burn
Your desert heat radiates through my being
Such power I'm feeling and seeing
It's beauty in the eye of the beholder
To me no land could be golder
It's unchangeable and it's true
Life is reality and fantasy too
A romance with the desert land
Timeless love passing through the sand
The desert calls me
No other place to live or to be
Until I come back home
From here to there my heart will roam
