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 [bad word] back around
To the cactus in the valley, that's about to [bad word] down

And wipe the mark of sadness from my 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 storm finally found me, and left me in the dark
In the cloud around me, I don't know where you are
If this old world goes up in arms, all I can do is stand
And I won't fight for anyone, until you move my hand

And wipe the mark of madness from my 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 shadow
Here I am
And I need someone by my side
It [bad word] so hard to stand
And I keep trying to dry my [bad word] and find me in the valley

And wipe the mark of sadness from my 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 madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you'll still recall my name
Oh, tell me that you'll still recall my name
Oh, tell me that you'll still recall my name.
