Rayland Baxter Lady of the Desert lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yesterday I'm staring out my window
Wishing I was home in Tennessee
But I'm the only one here with my shadow
And my shadow is the only one with me
Maybe I was wrong about the mountains
And maybe I was wrong about the breeze
Waking up each day inside my canyon
With the morning sun as far as I can see

[Chorus 1]
Bye bye Randy Grambo
Bye bye to you old friend
I hope to see you in the morning once again

[Verse 2]
Lady of the desert can you hear me?
For I've been knocking on your cellar door
I've come to wonder if you will release me
For you know I don't belong here anymore
Maybe I was wrong about the valley
And maybe I was wrong about the stars

These days I keep them hidden in my memory
They remind me of the dreamer that I was

[Chorus 2]
Bye bye Magdalena
Bye bye to you old friend
I hope to see you in the morning once again

[Bridge]
I could throw a stone and skip it cross the ocean
Or I could wander round the desert every night
I've begun to wonder if you'll ever notice
That I've been waiting round for what seems another life

[Outro]
Bye bye to the sailor
Bye bye to you old friend
I hope to see you in the morning once again
Once again, once again
