Performed with Melanie in concert at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London in 1974

I had to stop short, oh I was lying even to myself
I had to own up, I was losing all the shine that I had
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

I had to stop short, oh I was lying even to myself
I had to own up, I was losing all the shine that I had
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

You gotta do it yourself
(repeat)
