Lyrics for Song: Oasis
Lyrics for Album: The Bootleg Box [2011]
I am a lucky man that's what I think
I might come close to the edge but I never sink
And I notice that vulnerable look in your eyes tonight
And in the desert that passes for my heart, sweet rain is falling tonight
You're my oasis, you're my oasis, oasis
Be my oasis and I will try not to be your mirage
I must be choked with emotion, I can't find the right words to say
I'm not a pillar of devotion, but don't let that stand in your way
And as the sun sinks blood red in the west it reminds
me of your bleeding heart
And as I lay down my head on your breast nothing can tear us apart
Cos you're my oasis, you're my oasis
Be my oasis and I won't be your mirage
Cos I am a lucky man, yeah that's what I think
I might be swimming for my life but I'll never sink
And as the quicksand comes up to my neck and holds me down like a grave
I will reach out for your hand and as I touch it I'm saved by an oasis
You're my oasis, oasis
Be my oasis and I will try not to be your mirage
And I won't be your mirage
