[Chorus]
Desperate love
Down on my knees
Flesh, bone, and blood
Begging you please
No ray of life
No hope to speak of
I won't survive
This desperate love

[Verse 1]
All the time
I waited patiently
For my luck to change
I stood by
And wished so dreadfully
Every night and day

[Pre-Chorus]
Sorrow and shame
Tossed in the waves
Look what it's done to me

[Chorus]
Desperate love
Down on my knees
Flesh, bone, and blood
Begging you please
No ray of life
No hope to speak of
I won't survive
This desperate love
[Verse 2]
All the time
I'm runnin' wild
Like a fire on the dusty plains
Stand outside
And pray
For the sweet relief of the pourin' rain

[Pre-Chorus]
Sorrow and shame
Tossed in the waves
Look what it's done to me

[Chorus 2]
Desperate love
Down on my knees
Flesh, bone, and blood
Begging you please
No way of life
No help from above
I won't survive
This desperate love
I won't survive
This desperate love
