I got scars and wounds
I got pictures of the sea
I got mirrors in the parking lot, of love's mystery
I got suntanned legs
I got perfumes by the score
I got keys that never seem to fit, in loves elusive door.

I know desire
I'm a personal friend
I know desire will be there till the end

In the event of aging
I stumble across the wisdom
That there is an absence of fear, in love's eternal flame

So I recognize the soldier protects me from myself
I don't really need protection
I want it just the same

I know desire
I'm a personal friend
I know desire will be there till the end

How can I deny what I want to be?
I won't try to be something else
How can I deny what comes naturally
I won't try to be something else

I know desire
I'm a personal friend
I know desire will be there till the end
