Daughter of a Desert Rose
Daughter of a Desert Rose: A Melodic Journey into Love and Longing
Lyrics
I've met lots of pretty women
I've encountered many attractive women
Their faces quickly come and go
Their presence is fleeting and forgettable
Yours is the one that I'll remember
Your face is memorable and stands out
I keep a picture in my soul
I carry an image of you deep within me
So when I'm lonesome on the highway
During lonely times on the road
A thousand miles from anywhere
Far from civilization
It won't be hard to find a reason
Finding solace is not difficult
I close my eyes and you'll be there
By closing my eyes, I can conjure you
You are the daughter of a desert rose
You embody the essence of a desert rose
Fine like a flower in a field of snow
Elegance resembling a flower in the snow
You taught me something that I didn't know
You enlightened me with new knowledge
You showed me everything and that's for sure
You revealed everything to me, without doubt
You got me wishing that I could have stayed
I desire I had lingered longer with you
Just a little while more
Just a bit more time
Now I'm a stranger by the roadside
Now, a stranger on a roadside
Somewhere just south of Tennessee
Somewhere south of Tennessee
And every mile further from you
Distance from you equals distance from myself
I grow a mile away from me
Each mile takes me further from self-awareness
And if I ever headed back your way
If I return, will you still be there?
I wonder if you'd still be there
Wondering if you'll be a constant presence
Appearing like an apparition
Like a ghostly vision
The sunlight dancing in your hair
Sunlight playing in your hair
You are the daughter of a desert rose
You are the embodiment of a desert rose
Fine like a flower in a field of snow
Fine and delicate like a flower in snow
You taught me something that I didn't know
You taught me something unknown
You showed me everything and that's for sure
You revealed everything unequivocally
You got me wishing that I could have stayed
I wish I could have stayed longer
Just a little while more
Just a bit more time
Your the silver moon at midnight
You are the shining moon at midnight
Your a day that's just begun
You are the beginning of a new day
Your a flower in my garden
You are a precious flower in my life
Your every song I ever sung
You are every song I've ever sung
You are the daughter of a desert rose
You are the embodiment of a desert rose
Fine like a flower in a field of snow
Fine and delicate like a flower in snow
You taught me something that I didn't know
You taught me something unknown
You showed me everything and that's for sure
You revealed everything unequivocally
You got me wishing that I could have stayed
I wish I could have stayed longer
Just a little while more
Just a bit more time
