Desiree

One, two

One, two, three, four

Well, I know it won't be long

I will sing another song

But I can't remember now

Yeah, you've broken every tie

And I've swallowed every lie

But I can't remember how

All 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

And 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

I can look up to the steeple and pray I see the light

I can take another needle, I can nod off through the night

You can take this sting away so I won't have the need to say

Desiree, do not go away

I'm sayin', "Desiree, do not go away"

Desiree, do not go away

Desiree, do not go away, no

I'm sayin', "Desiree, yay, do not go away"

I'm sayin', "Desiree, do not go away," yeah-yeah

Uh-huh, mm, oh

Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Mm, hey
