Fun side note: I recorded this in one take at my home in St. Petersburg, FL using one microphone and one guitar track on an old Fostex VF08 that I still have tucked away somewhere. My daughter came home from school, 1st or 2nd grade, with a picture she had drawn. It wasn't finished but I loved it just as it was and decided that it was the perfect cover for the recording.
Lyrics
LIKE THE DESERT
(music and lyrics by Rebekah Pulley)
The rain fell down in the desert
That's when the spring began
Such a barren place as this
Can still yield sweet fruit from its sand
We're all like the desert
Waiting on the flood water to quench our thirst
The moon shined down in the desert
That's when the night began
Such a dark place as this
Can still yield sweet stars in its sky
We're all like the desert
Waiting on the moon in the sand without a tide
The sun shined down in the desert
Waiting for life to come along
And it never gives up hope
That one day there will be life there to shine upon
We're all like he sun
Waiting for a desert to come along
We're all like the desert
We're all like he sun
