Lyrics

1) A dessert sun that burns so hot
Out in this barren land
Im prepared and they are not
They still don?t understand
They look on as I quench my thirst
With envy and with spite
They ought to know theyve got to work
Or theyll never win the fight.

Ch.) I shall sow the seeds
I shall reap the benefits
A man with all he needs
But I need you to share life with.

2) A workers pride at end of day
The idle man has none
He just lies there with nothing made
Nothing ever getting done
And I have plans Im working on
These plans are made for us
Ill find you under desert sun
And my reward will come because

Rep.Ch.

Mid.) You may be young
But youre getting older with each passing day
I may have done
Things at the wrong time and in the wrong way
But I dont regret
One single moment that I spent with you
And I wont forget
The promises I made will all come true.

3) The temple walls are coming down
Foundations were too weak
Solidity is out of bounds
The truth is here as I speak
Things can only last so long
I wont be losing sleep
And I can only sing my song
And plant the seed so deep

Rep.Ch. x2

ok, sounds like the byrds back in the 70s. nice job on getting that sound!

I really liked the overall feel you created, a kind of lush, folk/rock "Byrds" sort of jangling thing. Your lyrics were quite original and also not terribly needy/codependent/whiny like so many love songs. I appreciated the bridge in the middle, it really allowed me to refresh my ear and brain from the repetitive chord progression of the verses.

Very good! Nice smooth flow... love the duet!

The music sounds dated, which is fine if that is what you are going for. Has a 60's or 70's feel to it. Quality of recording sounds good
