[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
My life went down the wishing well
In my head I say I wish you well
But from my tongue I say...

[Chorus]
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
My life went down the wishing well
In my head I say I wish you well
But from my tongue I say…

[Chorus]
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away

[Bridge]
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...

[Chorus]
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away

[Chorus]
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
Desiree, do not go away
