Walking thru the desert
feeling scorched and parched
Despising every second
across the dunes I marched

The sand an endless ocean
so open and vast
That cactus standing proudly
just like a ships mast

The tumbleweeds aimlessly wandering
on the wind that blows so hot
This landscape unforgiving
always taking what you've got

Up there in the distance
a sight I can't believe
Sometimes here in the desert
a mirage it can deceive

But as I approach
this beautiful sight I see
I realize it's not fiction
but a reality

Speaking of reality
the desert is my life
and that beautiful sight I see
is really my wife
