Spoken Word
Only a holy man
From desert sandsÂ
Could intuitively understandÂ
The deserted barren lands
That held a well deep withinÂ
From a hollow to a cavernÂ
Beyond her dry rough skin
Lay a small a trickle of cool waterÂ
Protected from the winds
Where the diamond sang her song
Her skin song – which spiraled towards her throatÂ
Led by the smell of amber, the earth, argon oilÂ
And the nudge of a billy goatÂ
And then one late night
As the fire was a glow
His fingers whispered
Come – follow me – share your inner glow
It is there… I know… I sense…
For I pull music out of skins
And I know what lies slumbered
Deep deep within
And ever so slowly he movedÂ
And ever so slowly quietly he breathed
Like a gentle breeze
And he warmed her
And he held her
And he loved her
And he made her a rose again
A desert roseÂ
Song
You simply love to love
And your earth brings out my heaven
Your finger tips How they soothe my soul
Send ripples to my heart
In deepest trust I open to you
Heal me heal me tonight
Hold me ever so tight
These desert rains are falling falling falling
Can you hear my spirit calling calling calling
Calling out your name.Â
The moon she speaks
To the fullness of this night
You wrap your strong arms around me
Your touch is pure
As you guide me to sweet release
Oh, love, open me
Heal me heal me tonight
Hold me ever so tight
The desert rain is falling falling falling
Can you hear my spirit calling callingÂ
Calling out your name to come andÂ
Guide me home againÂ
To the land of skin on skin
Where just one touch
Is more precious than gold
I slow down every breath
I’m so conscious of this step
I feel fragile I feel weak
I’m too scared to even speak
Yet I know it’s time to be free
You guide me cross the rocks and fields
My body starts to slowly yield
Yes, this is exactly what I need
Your hands are full of love and care
Your eyes are soft, no ugly staresÂ
As the ghosts start to dance franticallyÂ
Yes your love is pure
And I endureÂ
The memories as they start to stir
And silent cries they start to release
Â
Yes heal me heal me tonight
Hold me hold me so tight
Just take it real slow
Take real slow
Untie the ribbons wrapped around my soul
Salve my wounds and make me whole
As I place my heart in your hands
You’ll find secret places
And oasisÂ
In this land of skin on skin
As you guide me back home again
As your fingers tap and gently slap
As you smooth and gently move
You’re making this desert green again
Yes there are jewels in these caverns
And a song in every pore
Skin on skinÂ
Deep withinÂ
I learn to trust in love againÂ
Heal me heal me tonight
Hold me ever so tight
The desert rain is falling falling falling
Can you hear my spirit calling calling callingÂ
Calling out your nameÂ
Spoken WordÂ
Only a holy man
From desert sandsÂ
Could intuitively understandÂ
The deserted barren lands
That held a well deep withinÂ
From a hollow to a cavernÂ
Beyond her dry rough skin
Lay her most precious jewel Â
Which she had keptÂ
Protected from the winds
