E B E
Verse 1
A E
Sometimes I feel like a flower in the desert
B E
Blooming alone like a motherless child
A E
So far away in a prison of freedom
B E
The only thing living for hundreds of miles.
Verse 2
A E
I gave you all of the love in my heart
B E
Just like a bouquet for your beautiful hand
A E
And you stayed till its roots had grown deep as the ocean
B E
And left it alone in a cold barren land
Chorus
A E
I don't think again I will find room or reason
B E
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky
A E
I wish I was just a flower in the desert
B E
That never knew the meaning of hello or goodbye.
Verse 3
A E
I nurtured and tended the faith I had in you
B E
But the seeds of destruction were there from the start
A E
Was I born to bloom and waste my sweet fragrance
B E
On the desolate plain of your cold, cold heart.
Chorus
A E
I don't think again I will find room or reason
B E
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky
A E
I wish I was just a flower in the desert
B E
That never knew the meaning of hello or goodbye.
Chorus
A E
I don't think again I will find room or reason

To thirst for the water or reach for the sky
