Branches To The Desert Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came out to the desert
To find what I lost in your eyes
I filled my lungs with the sunset
And walked out into the night

[Verse 2]
I am a wandering soldier
In this dusty land
Nothing but the torn clothes on my back
And the empty barrel in my hand

[Chorus 1]
Onwards, broken-hearted soldier
Into the great unknown
Lay down your weapons and follow
Into the light of the sun

[Verse 3]
When I couldn't walk any further
I fell to my knees to pray
With my final breath I cried out
In the blowing wind I heard you say...

[Chorus 2]
"Onwards, onwards good soldier
Into the great unknown
Hear the golden trumpets sounding
Calling the tired soldiers home"

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Onwards, broken-hearted soldier
Into the great unknown
Lay down your weapons and follow
Into the light of the sun

[Chorus 2]
Onwards, onwards good soldier
Into the great unknown
Hear the golden trumpets sounding
Calling the tired soldiers home"

[Verse 1]
I came out to the desert
To find what I lost in your eyes
I filled my lungs with the sunset
And walked out into the night
