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, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away

Well, I know I must be right
You've stolen all the light
You're a killer 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, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away

I can listen to the people who tell me I am blind
[?] see the light
I can take [?] the night
I can take this sting away so I won't have the need to say...

Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away

Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
