Cactus in the Valley

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

To come back around

To the cactus in the valley

That's about to crumble 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 whole 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 becomes so

Hard to stand

And I keep trying to dry my eyes

Come 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

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
