One More Desperado

Vocals and instrumentals by Phalini devi dasi ACBSP                                      



Lord, I'm ready to come home
To the land of cows and cowherds
To the place where every step's a dance
Where every word's a song



Lord, I'm tired of this prison
And it's You, Lord, I am missin'
I am sorry that I left You 'n' that
I've been gone for so long



I've tried so hard for pleasure
But with pleasure came such pain
I've tried life after life, but
Bliss I never really gained



I've grown so tired of wandering
I no longer want to roam
Lord, I'm one more desperado
Comin' home



Let my mind be drawn to You
Like a river to the ocean
Like a drowning man wants air, Lord
Let me crave Your holy names



Let me bathe in Your love
Like a turtle in the Ganga
Like a lizard in the sunshine
Let me bask in krsna-prema



Queen Kunti prays, “Please let me
Be attached only to You!"
Let my mind become attracted to
Your form of storm-cloud blue!



You promise if I come back
I'll no longer have to roam
Lord, I'm one more desperado
Comin' home



(Instrumental)



Let me hold tight to Your feet
Like a monkey holds a sweetball
Like a honeybee loves nectar
Let me love You more and more



Yes, I'm eager to come home
To the land of milk and honey
Where everything and everyone
With love they serve You, Lord



Like a man lost in a desert
Yearns for water most of all
I am desperate to return, Krsna!
Oh, Lord, please hear my call!



I've been through crores of lifetimes
I no longer want to roam
Lord, I'm one more desperado
Comin' home



Due to my sinful desires from Your
Abode I have been hurled
By Your grace I understand now
I don't belong in this world



I am cryin' out to You, Lord
From this place where I've been thrown
Lord, I'm one more desperado
Comin' home



I’m a child cryin’ to its mother
You’re my shelter—I have no other
Lord, I’m one more desperado
Comin’ home
