Paul Kelly And The Messengers - Desdemona lyrics

Once I had a life so rare Beauty lived inside the lair Desdemona straight and true Desdemona gold and blue Well I lost my Desdemona With my own hands I destroyed her Yes I lost my Desdemona I fell for lies, I fell for lies Poison in my ear at night Took away my appetite I couldn't hold on to the pain Something broke inside my brain Well I lost my Desdemona With my own hands I destroyed her Yes I lost my Desdemona I fell for lies, I fell for lies Never has a man been born Who can take a woman's scorn Nor tasted a more bitter wine Than the brewing of his mind Yes I lost my Desdemona With my own hands I destroyed her Yes I lost my Desdemona I fell for lies, I fell for lies
