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 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... 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.
