Lyrics
When the harvest had failed and the fields turned to dust My scythe and my plow turned to ruin and rust My eyes full of flies and my heart full of hurt My love came to find me, I was laying in the dirt She said: "In the land where the sun is always setting And the desert flowers bloom There's a town where they won't know your name And they can't sing your tune" "You must do what you must", she said, "steal your brother's goat Take him to the market and let them slit his throat" She said, "money to be made," she said, "enough to ride the train To the town where nobody will ever know our names" Oh, the land where the sun is always setting And the desert flowers bloom There's a town where they won't know our names And they can't sing our tune And though the goat was all he had, I stole my brother's beast I took him to the village where the chefs prepared a feast They offered me a piece of silver, they offered me some gold They sharpened up their knives and said "the [?][breast will cut to bone?]" In the land where the sun is always setting And the desert flowers bloom There's a town where they won't know our names And they can't sing our tune I stared into the creature's eyes and pity struck my chest I dived into it's lifeblood and Jesus made me blessed I was swimming in an ocean, I was bathed in all it's glory I saw the light, knew my path and sang a different story Oh, the land where the sun is always setting And the desert flowers bloom There's a town where they won't know our names And they can't sing our tune My goat and I, we ride the train now Hopping the boxcar line We travel with the setting sun And fool the old clock's chime (One, two, three) In the land where the sun is always setting And the desert flowers bloom There's a town where they won't know our names And they can't sing our tune
