From the recording Third Beach

Lyrics

Darling I confess
I hide my loneliness
Though I don’t harbour you ill will
You reside inside me still

You cloud my mind and eyes
With dreams of paradise
I don’t think I will survive
Another silent night

I’ll lie down with you
Tonight
I’ll lie down with you

I’m the king of Arizona
I will dry your tears tonight
I’ll lay you down in a bed of flowers
That bloom in the night
Bloom in the night

Softly sighs the breeze
Your name among the leaves
As the day destroys the night
The heat begins to rise

A fire beneath the ash
A calm that could not last
The sands cannot disguise
The shape of loves demise

I’ll lie down with you
Tonight
I’ll lie down with you

I’m the king of Arizona
I will dry your tears tonight
I’ll lay you down in a bed of flowers
That bloom in the night
Bloom in the night
