The Wilderness

There ain't no rain here in the desert
The sun beats down upon my back
The river dries up in the daylight
And in the night the stars go black

So hide baby, hide baby
Hide behind your pride, baby
Thorn inside your side
And I won't stop until your mine

I don't know if this is love no more
Sure ain't what I'm looking for
Rose petals ain't worth the thorns
So let me go, just let me go
Send a bullet with your gunshot lips
A little fire couldn't puncture this
You don't know the devil until you've felt the kiss
Such is the wilderness

Lord, I'm out here on the water
And I can't save my broken boat
I swear I feel my body sinking
But somehow I know I'm still afloat

So give me fire baby, fire baby
Fuel to my desire baby
Aren't you sick and tired
So put your hand in mine

I don't know if this is love no more
Sure ain't what I'm looking for
Rose petals ain't worth the thorns
So let me go, just let me go
Send a bullet with your gunshot lips
A little fire couldn't puncture this
You don't know the devil until you've felt the kiss
Such is the wilderness
Such is the wilderness

I'm singing
I don't know if this is love no more
Sure ain't what I'm looking for
Rose petals ain't worth the thorns
So let me go, just let me go
Send a bullet with your gunshot lips
A little fire couldn't puncture this
You don't know the devil until you've felt the kiss
Such is the wilderness
