lyrics
A time of drought – life has lost its sweetness
– never-ending blistering heat
So hard to move, you’re surrounded by dreams that died along the way
Ev’ry gesture seems empty, ev’ry morning the same
You’re picking your way through the desert of the heart
You’re keeping on – going through the motions
– more out of habit than hope
Round in circles, this trackless desert is draining you of all your strength
Doubts try to waylay you, living without your dreams
But you’re stumbling on each day, through the desert of the heart
Don’t give up – one day after another
– a path will form beneath your feet
This time will pass, you’ll find a way to escape this wilderness of fear
A brighter day will be dawning, there’s a trickle of grace
Believe you’re making a way through the desert of the heart
Keep moving - don’t give up
Keep breathing - don’t give up
Keep trying - don’t give up
Keep believing - don’t give up
John Hickey's The Goat Herder's revenge is a lovely instrumental EP with a great title! It reminds me of Einaudi a bit, and it's great chill-out music. Martin Poulsom
