Quiet Desperation

My soul is in the mountains My heart is in the land I'm lost here in the city There's so much I don't understand There's quiet desperation comin' over me Comin' over me I've got to leave I can't stay another day There's an emptiness inside of me I can't bear the loneliness out here There's another place I've got to be I long for you Dakota Smell of sweet grass on the plain I see too much meanness And I feel too much pain There's quiet desperation comin' over me Comin' over me I've got to leave I can't stay another day There's an emptiness inside of me I can't bear the loneliness out here There's another place I've got to be --- Quiet Desperation - Christy Moore
