The Elevators - Desert Love Song Lyrics

Out in the desert where the sand and sun collide
Fate brought you and me together
Maybe it was the times and we were both so very young
And pretended nothing really mattered

But I kept you at a distance
Even though it caused you pain
I was holding out for some fantasy
That could never be

You and I have both moved on now
And through all this time I can't right that wrong
So I wrote these words in a desert love song
Hope they're good enough

Those halcyon days were so easy to recall
It's those dark ones I really can't remember
And the memories fade thought I wish it wasn't true
Though I know we had fun together

But I kept you at a distance
Even though it caused you pain
I was holding out for some fantasy
That could never be

You and I have both moved on now
And through all this time I still can't right that wrong
So I wrote these words in a desert love song
Hope they're good enough
