lyrics
I found you sleeping in the desert,
you were bleeding and your head hurt.
You could not look me in the eyes,
how did you get here, darling?

How did you get your new dress dirty?
You made love to everyone here,

Come on and look me in the eyes,
how did you get here, darling?
Come on and look me in the eyes,
can you hear me calling?
