lyrics

When i was a little child, i ran -
after the rains, captured faeries, again
and again, released them, in pink balloons
Oh mother, look at the clouds, they're weeping for you!

Pray, child
Pray, the desert brings rain
Child, pray
Give up illusions, and follow another storm
Pray, child, pray,
for salvation, in red sands.

Pray, child, pray
red deserts bring rain

And the clowns and the kittens
chased on close behind -
LIfted me inward, to treetops, so high
I prayed for salvation, the faeries, to sway
And sing my poor mother, to sleeping the day.


Pray, child
Pray, the desert brings rain
Child, pray
Give up illusions, and follow another storm
Pray, child, pray,
for salvation, in red sands.

Pray, child, pray
red deserts bring rain.

I said mother, look at the clouds
They're weeping once more
But she only poured down herself, a tide washed ashore.
I lifted my own eyes, to meet her disquise
Dried on the red sands, forever alive.
