Neil Diamond Desperado lyrics

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses?
Been out ridin' fences for so long now

You're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' 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 you can't get

Desperado
Oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're drivin' you home

And freedom
Well, that's just some people talkin'

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 losin' 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
And open the gate

It may be rainin'
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
