Desert willow I
Whisper to my pillow
The place we met our fate and I
Know that she saw my face
Before I hit the ground
Buried myself deep and down
The flood that came swept me
Clean away I thought
I saw my world fall apart
I fell backwards all along
Roots that bound me
To the mountain stone
Desert willow
Desert willow
Desert willow
Oh woah woah
While I was hanging on
I thought I heard a song
Like a whisper on the howling wind
In the darkest night I've ever been
She held me close with hope
She might just go and make it so
Upside down left me
Inside out right where
I found the whole of my heart
I fell backwards all alone
Learning sorrows that I had to know
Desert willow
Desert willow
Desert willow
Oh woah oh woah
