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
