Hush Hush Noise - Chloride Lyrics

At the edge of the desert where everything meets
The end and beginning of every heartbeat
I met an old woman in the dusty church yard
She had lines on her face from a life that had scarred
Her old eyes were wise but still baby blue
She grabbed me and said can I pray for you

Take it all more slow
There's so much more to know
Take a cactus home
See the wild horses before you go

We cooled our toes in the church baptist bath
I asked if we were sinnin' but she only laughed
And said the desert had shown her a better place
She told me some tales of her darker days

You have deep beautiful eyes
Don't tell your many no lies
Sing your song don't be shy
You'll never know until you try

In the desert there's life but mostly there's death
Did it die long ago or is it just out of breath
Oh, the grains in the sand are so very small
But not as small as I feel at all
Not as small as I feel at all
