Two for the Road

Breath of the desert breathing in the fall
Under an enigmatic crescent moon
Ushering autumn sweeping in the dawn
Singing to me in the turning-leaf tree
Maybe hope blows in the wind after all
Riding in on the desert dawn wind soon

Once I had a love but now she is gone
Dried away with summer gone with the night

Breath of the desert you can make things right
She went away but you bring a new day
Even if I am forever alone
The road is worth walking though I know not
Where I am going nor where I am blown
Bring up the sun now and make it shine hot

Once someone loved me but then she forgot
The wind the only constant I have known

Breath of the desert fellow wanderer
We are two for the road: we always were
