I crossed the desert with a virgin bride

In cut off jeans and a smile so wide

It lightened up the sky above

As she leaped from the jeep into his arms

She don't say no he's got a factory

Dealing in tokens and memories

Souvenirs to hold dear

Dangling from his key ring chain

We climbed into the eye of the sleeping beast

Laid out in stone for all eternity

Do you believe she asked of me

I can believe if you do

We danced on a ridge

Like a knife so sharp

Kicking up the soft sand

With our stubborn hearts

Are we free at last

Or are we on the run

Will we raise the winds

Or drift away

Like dust in the desert sun

Like dust in the desert sun

He set up a tent and he lit a fire

She wanted to stay out and watch the stars

On the ridge she took my hand

Tracing the lines in my palm

You will travel over many lands

I will stay here and raise his sons

But tonight we are alike

Bathing in the same moonlight

We danced on a ridge

Like a knife so sharp

Kicking up the soft sand

With our stubborn hearts

Are we free at last

Or are we on the run

Will we raise the winds

Or drift away

Like dust in the desert sun

Like dust in the desert sun
