You told me
You? d hold me

Hold me til the mornin? light

You craved me
You saved me

Saved me from my own foolish blight

You? re gone now
I? m strong now

Strong enough to cry only at night

I see now
It can? t be now

Now that you? re away


And I wish that I could be like the desert
He never seems to cry
I wish that I could be like the ocean
She never needs to ask why


I? m a lonely lady only
Lonely lady only

You told me
You? d hold me

Hold me til the mornin? light

You craved me
You saved me

Saved me from myself


And I wish that I could be like my father
He always knew what was right
I wish that I could be like my mother
She always tucked me in tight


I? m a lonely lady only
Lonely lady only

You told me
You? d hold me

Hold me til the mornin? light


You craved me
You saved me

Saved me from own foolish blight
