[Verse 1] I would cross the desert of the world with you, Where the wind writes prayers in the dust anew, With your hand in mine and the stars above, Every mile of sand would be softened by love. [Pre-Chorus] We could follow the moon through the thirsty land, Build a little home where the shadows stand, And if all the rivers should fade from view, I'd find a hidden spring in the heart of you. [Chorus] I would cross the desert of the world with you, Cross the desert of the world with you, Past the broken dreams and the skies of blue, I'd cross every desert, every world, with you. With a song on our lips And a fire burning through, I would cross the desert of the world with you, Cross the desert of the world with you. [Verse 2] Let the daylight burn and the night grow cold, Let the ancient stories of the dunes unfold, For the road has no fear when your eyes are near, And the loneliest silence becomes something dear. [Pre-Chorus] We could follow the moon through the thirsty land, Build a little home where the shadows stand, And if all the rivers should fade from view, I'd find a hidden spring in the heart of you. [Chorus] I would cross the desert of the world with you, Cross the desert of the world with you, Past the broken dreams and the skies of blue, I'd cross every desert, every world, with you. With a song on our lips And a fire burning through, I would cross the desert of the world with you, Cross the desert of the world with you. [Bridge] If the maps all break, if the road runs dry, I'll still keep your name like a star in my eye, No storm, no stone, no empty mile, Could turn me back from your sleeping smile. [Final Chorus] I would cross the desert of the world with you, Cross the desert of the world with you, Past the broken dreams and the skies of blue, I'd cross every desert, every world, with you. With a song on our lips And a fire burning through, I would cross the desert of the world with you, Cross the desert of the world with you.
