Desdemona - Paul Kelly

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
