Watching the Stars from this Desert
Skirmish: Desert - use it as a noun... (@robinleaf)
Liner Notes
A couple of days ago, I started noodling around on the bass, and improvised a thing I liked enough to record it, and then fell asleep. Today I added guitar and improvised background vocals until they suggested a story, and added words.

Lyrics
Watching the Stars from this Desert
Deirdre M Murphy
In the sky above this desert, there’s so many stars to see
Shining through the dry air, no clouds between them and me
The stars above this desert call me to the pathway home
But my spaceship crashed, and I have no way to roam
I can’t reach my people, though it’s beautiful down here
And the humans don’t like aliens, they say I’m just too queer
I watch the sky from this desert, though the stars are my home
Someday, maybe, they’ll find me, and once again I will roam
