Blind Melon - Deserted

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
