The Left Banke
Desiree
[Verse 1]
Everything returns again
Both the laughter and the rain
She is livin' somewhere far away
Still, I ask her in my lonely way to stay
(Desiree) Desiree
(Now, she's leaving)

[Chorus]
Desiree, you know how it hurts me
Living alone through all the years
Nothing can hold the tears in me

[Verse 2]
Everything remains the same
Yet she answers not her name
Still, if I could look beyond the sky
Standing here again before my eyes and see
(Desiree) Desiree
(Now, she's leaving)

[Bridge]
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la
[Chorus]
Desiree, you know how it hurts me
Where do I run to? Is it real?
Knowin' the pain I feel, so real
Desiree, you know how it hurts me
Livin' alone through all the years
Nothin' can hold the tears in me (Desiree)

[Outro]
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
