I see tonight that she's alone
I keep thinking back to home
I've got that feeling I know that it shows
I miss me 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'm feeling 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
Through the empty nights and the days so long
I'm not the same and I know that it shows
I miss my sweet Desert Rose.

I hear the wind blowin' in the night
Winter's come, and it just ain't right
This loneliness, well it comes and it goes
I love my sweet Desert Rose.


Will you still love me when I'm gone
I love my sweet Desert Rose
I miss my sweet Desert Rose
