Lyrics
A blister in the desert
no I have never seen
the edge of the mountains
or heard a bird sing
not a single river flows here
none that I can see
just a crazy old man who knows
nothin 'bout me
shade me now
shade me now
you gotta give away all the pain
and let the bird sing
shade me now
shade me now
save me from my shameful chains
and set my heart free
he mumbles about a water well
getting ready for the climb
he rattles off so many things
I must leave behind
compassion without sympathy
spoken like a soldier man
in able quickness he disappears
while I choke on indecision
whoa oh shade me now
shade me now
you gotta give away all the pain
and let the bird sing
shade me now
shade me now
save me from my shameful chains
and set my heart free
A blister in the desert
no I have never seen
the edge of the mountains
or heard a bird sing
not a single river flows here
none that I can see
just a crazy old man who knows
nothin 'bout me
shade me now
shade me now
my throat is dry and my back is burned
and now my heart breaks
shade me now
shade me now
now I know You're always there
it was my mistake
