Flower in the Desert Lyrics by Jim & Jesse

1991

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like a flower in the desert
Blooming alone like a motherless child
So far away in a prison of freedom
The only thing livin' for hundreds of miles
I gave you all of the love in my heart
Just like a bouquet for your beautiful hand
And you stayed 'til its roots had grown deep as the ocean
And left it alone in a cold, barren land
[Chorus]
I don't think again I will find room or reason
To thirst for the water nor reach for the sky
I wish I was just a flower in the desert
That never knows the meaning of hello or goodbye
[Verse 2]
I nurtured and tended the faith I had in you
But the seeds of destruction were there from the start
Was I born to bloom and waste my sweet fragrance
On the desolate plain of your cold, cold heart?
[Chorus]
I don't think again I will find room or reason
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky
I wish I was just a flower in the desert
That never knows the meaning of hello or goodbye
I don't think again I will find room or reason
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky
I wish I was just a flower in the desert
That never knows the meaning of hello or goodbye
That never knows the meaning of hello or goodbye
