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
