The Wild Places

There's thorns on the cactus tree
There's thorns on the rose 
There's thorns in the heart of me 
That nobody knows 
They tear at the flesh until 
The tears start to rise 
They form in my heart 
But they fall from Anastasia's eyes 


And I was lost in the wilderness 
Without courage or hope 
I was setting my signal fires 
And watching the smoke 
When out of the smoke appeared 
The sweetest surprise 
And I knew I'd been found 
When first I looked into Anastasia's eyes 


There's thorns on the cactus tree 
There's thorns on the rose 
There's thorns in the heart of me 
That nobody knows 


But finally I've found out where my salvation lies 
It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes 
It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes
