Oasis
vom Album Dust & Gold
Lyrics
Cool water on my cracked lips
The sweetest sound a spring can make
Palm shadows fall across my arms
Like fingers welcoming me back
Oasis life returns in every drop
Oasis life returns in every drop
Every drop
Every drop
The date palms bend with heavy fruit
A green so sharp it cuts the beige
I cup my hands and drink again
The desert loosens like a cage
After days of sand and silence
Water sounds like music written before language existed
Oasis life returns in every drop
Oasis life returns in every drop
Every drop
Every drop
My muscles loosen in the shade
The fever breaks behind my eyes
I hear my heartbeat slow and settle
Into the rhythm of the flies
I fill the skin and seal the cap
The spring will flow when I am gone
This water carries no condition
It gives to everything that comes
