Intro

  

Verse 1

I was born in the desert, so I know how it feels there.
Well, look up. It's a shooting star. But it’s as black as night. No stars.

Verse 2

Well, this is the first thing that I’ve written since I wrote about freedom.
And then the wall came down. We thought it was a great beginning.
People were free to cross the line, but then something happened in the desert.
Something broke the stars into pieces.

Verse 3

Well, I live below a great red mountain in the shape of a great huge beast.
In a place the indians call Paradise Valley. Well, this has always been my sanctuary.
I send that to you, too. There, on the other side of the world, in the desert.
We are the guardians. No black clouds; just the faces of you.  

Verse 4

So where is my father? Where has he gone? And where is my husband? And where is my son?
Where is my father? Where has he gone? What is it that happened here?
Is it real, this war? This can’t be happening.

Verse 5

Well, I need to see you in your...far-away war. And you should know how much we love you.
Well, they call us here: Operation Desert Angel. They call us here: Operation Desert Angel.
In waiting: Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Desert Angel.
A Bm A Bm N.C.
Angles in waiting. Just the senses of you. Operation Desert Angel.
