There were pla

There was sand

              
 and hills and

The first thin

And the sky wi

[Verse]

            
After two days

        
 in the desert

 sun
            
My skin began 

        
to turn red
            
After three da

          
ys in the dese

rt fun
            
I was looking 

           
at a river bed

And the story 

             
it told of a r

/
iver that flow

ed
            
Made me sad to

              
 think it was 


dead


[Chorus]

             
You see I've b

[Verse]

            
After nine day

            
s I let the ho


rse run free
            
'Cause the des

              
ert had turned

    
 to sea
            
There were pla

              
nts and birds 

    
and rocks and 

things
            
there was sand

              
 and hills and

 
 rings
            
The ocean is a

              
 desert with i

    
t's life under

ground
            
And a perfect 

         
disguise above
            
Under the citi

              
es lies a hear

          
t made of grou

But the humans

              
 will give no 


love
