Dream Beneath A Desert Sky

"Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight ...

Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me ...

Sleep comes like a drug
In God's Country"

                                  -- U2, In God's Country, from the album The Joshua Tree

The planet Venus, also called the Evening Star, shines down as the desert falls into the darkness of dreams.
