On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name Because there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la And after nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

She knows when I am lonesome She cries when I am sad She's up in the good times She's down in the bad Whenever I am discouraged She knows just what to do But girl, She doesn't know about you I can tell her my troubles She makes them all seem right I can make up excuses Not to hold her at night We can talk of tomorrow I'll tell her things that I wanna do But girl, How can I tell her about you? How can I tell her about you? Girl, please tell me what to do Everything seems right whenever I'm with you So girl, won't you tell me How to tell her about you How can I tell her I don't miss her Whenever I am away How can I say it's you I think of Every single night and day But when is it easy telling someone the truth Oh girl, help me tell her about you How can I tell her about you? Girl, please tell me what to do Everything seems right whenever I'm with you So girl, won't you tell me How to tell her about you

Last night I had too much to drink Sitting in a club with so many fools Playing to rules Trying to impress but feeling rather empty I had another drink (Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink, ah) What a way to spend that evening They all turn up with their friends Playing the game But in the scene I should've been Far away (Away - away - away - away - away) Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget The telephone rings and someone speaks She would very much like to go out to a show So what can I do? I can't think what to say She sees through anyway (Away - away - away - away - away) Out of the front door I go Traffic's moving rather slow Arriving late, there she waits Looking very angry, as cross as she can be Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget Ah, Ah
