Text

An einem 3. Juni kommt „Desireé“, die er damals auf fast doppelt so alt wie er selbst schätzt, „wie die Morgensonne“ auf ihn zu und nimmt ihm seine Unschuld (Well I became a man / At the hands of a girl / Almost twice my age / And she came to me / Just like a morning sun). Am nächsten Morgen verschwindet sie wieder so schnell wie sie gekommen war und geht ihm seither nicht aus dem Kopf.
