Hillman-Wildes I see tonight that she's alone I keep thinking back to home I've got that feeling I know that it shows I miss my sweet desert rose Shines like the stars in the sky Breath of life in a well gone dry She picks me up when I'm feelin' so low She's my sweet desert rose Ain't no money in our home town And the mills have all shut down They say there's work but it's always the next town Will you still love me when I'm gone Will you still love me when I'm gone Through the empty nights and the days so long I'm not the same and I guess that it shows I miss my sweet desert rose Instrumental (Fiddle + Mandola) I hear the wind blowing in the night Winter's come and it just ain't right This loneliness but it comes and it goes I love my sweet desert rose Ain't no money in our home town And the mills have all shut down They say there's work but it's always the next town Will you still love me when I'm gone I love my sweet desert rose I miss my sweet desert rose
