Lover had to leave me

'cross the desert plain

Turned to me his lady

Tell me "lover wait".

Calling jesus, please

Send his love to me.

Oh, wind and rain they haunt me

Look to the north and pray

Send me, please, his kisses

Send them home today.

I'm begging, jesus, please

Send his love to me.

Left alone in desert

This house becomes a hell

This love becomes a tether

This room becomes a cell.

Mummy, daddy, please

Send him back to me.

How long must I suffer?

Dear god, I've served my time

This love becomes my torture

This love, my only crime

Oh lover please release me

My arms too weak to grip

My eyes to dry for weeping

My lips too dry to kiss.

Calling, jesus, please

Send his love to me

I'm begging, jesus, please

Send his love to me.
