From the recording No Man's Land

Lyrics

40 Days
40 days out in the desert
40 days you’re wandering alone
no one to hold your hand
no one on the phone
40 days of dust and dry bones

40 days no springs are a running
40 days you’re bitter and dry
nothing to ease your thirst
nothing you can try
40 days a hard, cloudless sky

40 days out in the desert
40 days climbing this wall
no saints to keep you steady
no angels to break your fall
40 days of climbing this wall

how do I wish that
I could change these stones to bread
and these dry arroyos
were running cool streams instead
how do I wish that this hard dirt
was my own bed

40 days out in the desert
turn around the tempter said
but I ain’t looking back
Easter’s up ahead
40 days in the desert He said
