Desert of Tears

[Verse]
The sand whispers your name
Fading slow
A desert of tears where no rivers flow
I called the stars
But they stayed cold
Your shadow's gone
Your hand untold

[Chorus]
Ya leil
Ya leil
How long will you cry
The moon hides its face
The heavens sigh
A heart left to wander
Broken and bare
In the desert of tears
You're not there

[Verse 2]
Your scent lingers like a ghost in the air
I chase it
I fall
But you're not anywhere
The organ weeps
The violin moans
My soul is a ruin
My chest is stones

[Prechorus]
What is love but a mirage in the sand
Slipping away like grains from my hand

[Chorus]
Ya leil
Ya leil
How long will you cry
The moon hides its face
The heavens sigh
A heart left to wander
Broken and bare
In the desert of tears
You're not there

[Bridge]
Oh wind
Carry my voice where it hurts the most
Let it echo in the mountains
Let it haunt like a ghost
Tell her the organ's wailing
The violin's plea
Is the song of a man lost to eternity
