In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon
pigtails. And her mom calls out from an apartment
balcony, "Come on, baby! Your bath is ready!
It's almost time for sleep!" And I wonder
who's the father... And I wonder what they call
her - Sierra.

Does her mother smoke, or does she jog every
morning? Does she drink when she thinks about me?
Or doesn't she need to drink... does she have a
man who works a nine to five? Does he come home to
kiss our young Sierra, tuck her in and say
goodnight? (And an extra kiss for mama...) I want
that kiss, that kid, that apartment.

I'm ready to settle down now, so get that man out
of my bed. I want my daughter back now, I want to
kiss her, tuck her in and say, "goodnight, my
baby girl, Sierra."

Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, Sierra,

I'll never know who you are, and I don't deserve
to. My little girl, we would've been so... oh,
nevermind. But I'm ready to settle down now -
yeah, I'm ready to leave that wrecking ball
behind. I could be your carpenter, and you could
be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky.
