In the desert, where the cities are made of gold, |
| [00:40.546] |
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails. |
| [00:47.992] |
And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony, |
| [00:53.296] |
"Come on, baby! Your bath is ready! It's almost time for sleep!" |
| [01:00.747] |
And I wonder who's the father... |
| [01:06.846] |
And I wonder what they call her - Sierra. |
| [01:13.756] |
|
| [01:18.001] |
Does her mother smoke, or does she jog every morning? |
| [01:21.993] |
Does she drink when she thinks about me? |
| [01:25.966] |
Or doesn't she need to drink... does she have a man who works a nine to five? |
| [01:34.742] |
Does he come home to kiss our young Sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight? |
| [01:43.237] |
(And an extra kiss for mama...) |
| [01:48.808] |
I want that kiss, that kid, that apartment. |
| [01:52.533] |
|
| [01:55.456] |
I'm ready to settle down now, so get that man out of my bed. |
| [02:00.768] |
I want my daughter back now, I want to kiss her, |
| [02:07.146] |
tuck her in and say, "goodnight, my baby girl, Sierra." |
| [02:18.302] |
|
| [02:19.367] |
Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, |
| [02:26.266] |
|
| [02:26.800] |
I'll never know who you are, and I don't deserve to. |
| [02:37.954] |
My little girl, we would've been so... oh, nevermind. |
| [02:44.602] |
But I'm ready to settle down now - yeah, I'm ready to leave that wrecking ball behind. |
| [02:55.757] |
I could be your carpenter, and you could be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky. |
