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 valley
That's about to crumble down

And wipe the mark of sadness from our 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 strom finally found me
and left me in the dark
In the cloud around me
I don't know where you are
If this whole world goes up in arms
All I can do is stare
And I won't fight for anyone
Until you move my hand

And wipe the mark of sadness from our 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 shadows
Here I am
And I need someone by my side
It be come 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 our 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 sadness from our face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name
