Desert Rose

Chris Hillman Desert Rose written by Chris Hillman

also performed by The Desert Rose Band

I see the night that she's alone

I keep thinking back to home.

I've got that feeling I know that it shows

I missed my sweet desert rose.

Shines like the stars in the sky

A breath of life in a well gone dry.

She picks me up when I feel it so low.

She's my sweet desert rose.

Ain't no money in our home town

And the mills have all shut down.

They say there's work but it's always the next town.

Will you still love me when I'm gone.

Will you still love me when I'm gone

Though the empty nights and the days so long.

I'm not the same and I guess that it shows

I missed my sweet desert rose.

I hear the wind blowing in the night.

Winter's come and it just ain't right.

This loneliness but it comes and it goes.

I love my sweet desert rose

Ain't no money in our home town

And the mills have all shut down.

They say there's work but it's always the next town.

Will you still love me when I'm gone

I love my sweet desert rose

I love my sweet desert rose
