Track Insight / Lyrics
On the motels' worn veranda
Where the desert night whispers low
About the secrets runaway hearts can handle
Midnight confessions, stolen glances, go
Two strangers' eyes lock in the neon glow
Like unspoken vows in the flickering show
A moment's pause before the highway roars away
Their hearts kept warm by the moon's silver ray
Oh, the desert moonlight knows our lies
As we dance on the edge of the open skies
Two kinds of love in limbo tonight
Fleeting whispers, shining so bright
In the parking lot, the crickets play
A haunted lullaby under the stars' gray
We share a soda, a cigarette's sweet haze
Secrets spill, desires as vast as the dunes' maze
Two strangers' hearts beat fast in the heat
Of a forbidden tryst, an infidelity sweet
The desert wind's a thief, stealing our goodbye
Leaving only the echoes that won't die
Oh, the desert moonlight knows our lies
As we dance on the edge of the open skies
Two kinds of love in limbo tonight
Fleeting whispers, shining so bright
Far off, a coyote's howl in the night
A lonely lullaby for this ill-fated flight
A moment's hesitation, a sigh
Before our goodbye's hurry, the dawn's surprised
Oh, the desert moonlight knows our lies
As we dance on the edge of the open skies
Two kinds of love in limbo tonight
Fleeting whispers, shining so bright
Desert moonlight, a silver guide
Lead us home, or watch us collide
Two strangers, lost, yet free tonight
In the desert's vast and endless light
