Well I know it won't be long,
I will sing another song
But I can't remember now.
You've broken every tie
And I've swallowed every lie
But I can't remember how.
My life went down the wishing well
In my head I say I wish you well
But from my tongue I say,
Desiree… Don't go away…
Desiree… Don't go away…
Desiree… Don't go away…
I know I must right
How you've stolen all the light
You're a k**er and a con
And I cannot understand
For my love you give me sand
And a rope to hang me on.
My life went down the wishing well
In my head I say I wish you well,
But from my tongue I say…
Desiree… Don't go away.
Desiree… Don't go away.
Desiree… Don't go away.
I can listen to the people who tell me I am blind,
I can take this sting away so I won't have the need to stay.
