Desdemona - The Allman Brothers Band

Rain falls on a sleepy southern town

The midnight moon burning brightly

Memories rush in like a river forlorn

As you lay sleeping without me

Highway song keeps me rollin' on

Still I long for you

Desdemona, I will be your only one

Oh yeah

And I make my living pouring out my pain

Trying to make it through another day

Arms reach for me on the wind I can feel them

They’re a thousand miles away

Your eyes remind me of everything beautiful and blue

And I won’t feel myself till I’m with you

Desdemona, I will be your only one

Oh yeah

So hold a candle till the darkness fades

Night time sleeps but not for long

My heart is pounding like the ocean

My soul’s empty as the sky

But I know, someday I’ll be coming home

Time goes by the twinkling of an eye

Still I pine for you

Desdemona, I will be your only one

I just wanna be, oh, your only one

I just wanna be your only one

Your only one
