He came from the desert
Cast out and cursed
With his Bible and black guitar
And long had I danced like corn in the wind
He shone like a superstar
All my life I’ve been waiting
Waiting for the one
To rise in the desert
Great and red
As I lie here clothed with the sun

Love me, hold me
Tell me that I’m safe
Love me, hold me
Tell me that I’m saved

Sons and lovers bickering
I lost Ben in seventy-eight
Left to command a family
Free in the Lone Star State
The light of the world is fading
Lay me in my grave
Sinful Messiah, receive my soul
Tell me that I’m saved

Love me, hold me
Clothe me with the sun
Love me, take me
Say you’re the chosen one
