Europop

[Verse 1]

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:

[Chorus]

"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"

[Verse 2]

"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"

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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?]"

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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)

[Chorus]

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
