I Will Die Alone

A little boy and baby blue dancing in my mama's room
I still hear her singing to me
She sang of life sang of love and everything I would become,
How I meet the woman of my dreams

But, I was born of Desert fire, driven by my one desire
Traded all I had for the great unknown
A bleeding heart I don't possess and when I'm finally laid to rest
I will die alone

I left the church, took a stand
Left everything they had planned
Heard the devil calling out to me
No diamond ring, no wedding band
The love I had slipped through my hands
And I will never be free

I was born of desert fire, driven by my one desire
Traded all I had for the great unknown
A bleeding heart I don't possess and when I'm finally laid to rest
I will die alone
Yes, I will die alone

Stranded in the dead of night, waiting by the firelight
Beneath the silver stars and the moon of gold
A shadow, a silhouette, to every soul I've ever met
The memories I can't forget have grown so cold

I was born of Desert fire, driven by my one desire
Traded all I had for the great unknown
A bleeding heart I don't possess and when I'm finally laid to rest
I will die alone
I will die alone
I will die alone
