She was born at the wrong time
On the wrong side of the line
But she never let it do her any harm
Tough but sweet, quick on her feet
She talked her way through Juarez on her charm

But with looks that might kill
And even more charming still
The young man won her over at first sight
They danced so very close, he called her desert rose
And held her ever closer through the night

He said Espera, mi amor
It won't be long before
Everything you dream is at your feet
You'll never find a love like mine
And you'll always be safe with me

As her belly grew more round
The handsome man left town
And she was left alone to sit and wait
She carved a wooden rose, for the baby's name she chose
And swore her child would never share her fate

One night she left it all
Wrapped in her mother's shawl
And headed for the lights across the line
El Paso wasn't far, but she stumbled in the dark
As the pain inside her body made her blind

She said Espera, mi amor
It won't be long before
Everything you dream is at your feet
You'll never find a love like mine
And you'll always be safe with me

They found her lying on the floor
Bleeding by the door
Of the train station's public bathroom stall
She held her daughter close, her little desert rose
As the El Paso sun lit up the depot walls

She said Espera, mi amor
It won't be long before
Everything you dream is at your feet
You'll never find a love like mine
And you'll always be safe with me
