Desperado - Diana Krall

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out riding fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasing you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't getting no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home

And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talking

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losing all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
