I am down, and I feel beat Dear old Pain’s called me a friend again, but with you I feel free I’ve been alone, but I’ve held my post But through Your steady hand I breathe new hope Through all the fallacy that today’s love brings Through all the mire of lust’s filthy streams
You won me over You won me over You won me over My smiling dream You’re like a desert stream
And I’m just a poor old boy with no shoes on my feet But this raisin-like, frail heart has just found a beat You’re one of life’s little heart-stitching seams Tell the boys another one’s been seen Ditching this dusty railroad of schemes
You won me over You won me over You won me over My smiling dream You’re like a desert stream My smiling dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, oh, oh
You won me over You won me over You won me over My smiling dream You’re like a desert stream My smiling dream You're like a desert stream
And I’m just a poor old boy with no shoes on my feet But this raisin-like, frail heart has just found a beat
