You're leaving me on the outside again The sunlight's far behind the clouds today I had those doubts in my mind But you didn't prove me wrong So goodbye, Desert Princess, it's time to move on Somehow you got my heart wrapped up in anguish Somehow I saw the light where there was none I tried to be oblivious but got bested once again The winds are gonna blow me down today Run away with those blood-stained hands I don't care to see your face anymore I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year So say hello to your desert sun for me I always knew your sights were set for elsewhere You proved my childish worries to be true I had a dream about you once and it became so clear The knife that's twisted only turns by you Run away with those blood-stained hands I don't care to see your face anymore I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year So say hello to your desert sun for me I never been a man who learns his lessons Or lets his jaded heart keep him in line Against both of our highest hopes I sing this ode to you Another story about me feeling sorry Run away with those blood-stained hands I don't care to see your face anymore I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year So say hello to your desert sun for me
