ANZA BORREGO DESERT BLOOM
©Gary Bowman In the badlands of Cali-for-ni-o, Cactus and oco-tillo Bighorn sheep, Desert fox, And mountain lions roam I met a girl who stole my heart, We swore that we would never part In the Anza Borrego Desert Bloom Hand-in-hand, we walked for hours, Her beauty shone like cactus flowers Her brown eyes danced beneath the desert sun, Raven black, windswept hair, Her laughter filled the desert air I met her when the desert was in bloom The Anza Borrego Desert Bloom The day, it ended all too soon, Coyote howled a lonesome tune As we embraced, and kissed good-bye, beneath the desert moon Here today, gone tomorrow, parting is such sweet sorrow Love is fleeting, like the Desert Bloom Hand-in-hand, we walked for hours, Her beauty shone like cactus flowers Her brown eyes danced beneath the desert sun, Raven black, windswept hair, Her laughter filled the desert air I met her when the desert was in bloom The Anza Borrego Desert Bloom The bloom is past, the flowers dead, Buzzards circle overhead Tumbleweed and rattlesnakes, Guard that desert tomb Now, the land is parched and dry, Timeless sun across the sky Memories of you, and Desert’s Bloom Hand-in-hand, we walked for hours, Her beauty shone like cactus flowers Her brown eyes danced beneath the desert sun, Raven black, windswept hair, Her laughter filled the desert air I met her when the desert was in bloom The Anza Borrego Desert Bloom |
