Desdemona Paul Kelly and the Messengers

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
