Painted deserts, arid scenes

In the wilderness of your eye
Am
I heard a sigh
Em
Your sigh or mine

Snake across the shifting sands

The quenching thirst...

Velveteen bliss

I want to live on the open breeze
Am Em
Just a piece of wild terrain
Em C
All of these elements call to me
Am
They carve your name...
Em
They carve your name

Oh, what in the world? What in the world?

Oh, what in the world? What in the world?
