I never meant to wither, I wanted to be tall Like a fool, left the river, and watched my branches fall Old and thirsty, I longed for the flood to come back around To the cactus in the valley, that's about to crumble down
And wipe the mark of sadness from my face Show me that your love will never change If my yesterday is a disgrace Tell me that you still recall my name
So the storm finally found me, and left me in the dark In the cloud around me, I don't know where you are If this old world goes up in arms, all I can do is stand And I won't fight for anyone, until you move my hand
And wipe the mark of madness from my face Show me that your love will never change If my yesterday is a disgrace Tell me that you still recall my name
Oh here, in the shadow Here I am And I need someone by my side It becomes so hard to stand And I keep trying to dry my eyes Come and find me in the valley
And wipe the mark of sadness from my face Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace Tell me that you still recall my name And wipe the mark of madness from my face Show me that your love will never change If my yesterday is a disgrace Tell me that you'll still recall my name Oh, tell me that you'll still recall my name Oh, tell me that you'll still recall my name.
