Bill Callahan - The Desert Lyrics






I'm crawling through the desert
Without water or love
I'm crawling through the desert
Without water or love
Then it starts to rain
Big buckets of rain
So I open my mouth
For a kiss
And to drink the rain
But it's just an illusion
Oh it's just an illusion
Yeah, love's just an illusion
That keeps you crawling through the desert

  1. P.... B....

    Fantastic cover of Jesus! very different feel to the VU version - but no gratuitous tinkering here. It really deconstructs the song and makes you hear it anew. What a way to end a session.

  2. d.... m....

    Modern Bob Dylan.
