[Verse 1] She was born at the wrong time On the wrong side of the line But she never let it do her any harm Tough but sweet Quick on her feet She talked her way through Juarez on her charm
[Verse 2] But with looks that might kill And even more charming still The young man won her over at first sight They danced so very close He called her "Desert Rose" And her ever closer through the night
[Chorus] He said "Espera, mi amor "It won't be long before "Everything you dream is at your feet "You'll never find a love like mine "And you'll always be safe with me"
[Verse 3] As her belly grew more round The handsome man left town She was left alone to sit and wait She carved a wooden rose For the baby's name she chose And swore her child would never share her fate
[Verse 4] And one night she left it all Wrapped in her mother's shawl She headed for the lights across the line El Paso wasn't far But she stumbled in the dark As the pain inside her body made her blind
[Chorus] She said "Espera, mi amor "It won't be long before "Everything you dream is at your feet "You'll never find a love like mine "And always be safe with me"
[Verse 5] They found her lying on the floor Bleeding by the door Of the train station's public bathroom stall She held her daughter close Her little desert rose As the El Paso sun lit up the depot walls
[Chorus] And she said "Espera, mi amor "It won't be long before "Everything you dream is at your feet "You'll never find a love like mine "And always be safe with me"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
