Lover had to leave me
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tells me "lover wait"Calling Jesus, please
Send his love to meOh, wind and rain may haunt me
Look to the north and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home todayI'm begging Jesus, please
Send his love to meLeft alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cellMummy, Daddy, please
Send him back to meHow long must I suffer?
Dear God, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crimeOh lover please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes to dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kissCalling Jesus, please
Send his love to meI'm begging Jesus, please
Send his love to me
