She would run across the barren land
And pause to let the light caress her
Ask the earth to share its secrets
And listen for the wind to tell her
He could see her so very clearly
Dancing as the moon rose to see
He could feel her breath upon him
Letting all the doubt go free
He looked to the desert sky
Counting all the stars above her
One for every moment he would love her
She would walk to where the land and sea
met each other in a dance of violence
She found a treasure of untold beauty
Tossed it back and swore herself to silence
He could see her so very clearly
Dancing as the moon rose to see
He could feel her breath upon him
Letting all the doubt go free
He looked to the desert sky
Counting all the stars above her
One for every moment he would love her
One for every moment he would love her
And pause to let the light caress her
Ask the earth to share its secrets
And listen for the wind to tell her
He could see her so very clearly
Dancing as the moon rose to see
He could feel her breath upon him
Letting all the doubt go free
He looked to the desert sky
Counting all the stars above her
One for every moment he would love her
She would walk to where the land and sea
met each other in a dance of violence
She found a treasure of untold beauty
Tossed it back and swore herself to silence
He could see her so very clearly
Dancing as the moon rose to see
He could feel her breath upon him
Letting all the doubt go free
He looked to the desert sky
Counting all the stars above her
One for every moment he would love her
One for every moment he would love her
