I need to point out more errors...it's thick desert dust on your skin.

also Where you lie adrift with the heroes

and The cool desert morning, then nothin' to save Just metal and plastic where your body caved

I think this song is about a lover lost in Iraq. There's "nothin' to save", this person was killed. They're drifting, dreaming of the life they should have had were it not for their death in the war. I don't see redemption here, just sad unnecessary death.

An error occured.
