Seemed to come from out of nowhere

Would leave me there at sundown

A cross between a trickle

in the long afternoons

Till night, an eternity it seemed

I dreamed I saw the angels

coming for my brother

With the tears still in my eyes

the dreams did go

cloud of blowin' sand

In a rich land desert dust bowl

Holed up in a hotel with a

suitcase full of dreams

Hangin' on to save my soul

Hangin' on to save my soul
