[00:35.769]In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
[00:40.546]there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.
[00:47.992]And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
[00:53.296]"Come on, baby! Your bath is ready! It's almost time for sleep!"
[01:00.747]And I wonder who's the father...
[01:06.846]And I wonder what they call her - Sierra.
[01:13.756]
[01:18.001]Does her mother smoke, or does she jog every morning?
[01:21.993]Does she drink when she thinks about me?
[01:25.966]Or doesn't she need to drink... does she have a man who works a nine to five?
[01:34.742]Does he come home to kiss our young Sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight?
[01:43.237](And an extra kiss for mama...)
[01:48.808]I want that kiss, that kid, that apartment.
[01:52.533]
[01:55.456]I'm ready to settle down now, so get that man out of my bed.
[02:00.768]I want my daughter back now, I want to kiss her,
[02:07.146]tuck her in and say, "goodnight, my baby girl, Sierra."
[02:18.302]
[02:19.367]Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, Sierra,
[02:26.266]
[02:26.800]I'll never know who you are, and I don't deserve to.
[02:37.954]My little girl, we would've been so... oh, nevermind.
[02:44.602]But I'm ready to settle down now - yeah, I'm ready to leave that wrecking ball behind.
[02:55.757]I could be your carpenter, and you could be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky.
