As the water pours

Verse

Life’s a lot like the desert.

Love is hard to find.

I scarcely got to taste it.

Left my lips bone dry.

Love trickled thru my fingers;

Quenched the burning sand;

Left me parched and thirsty.

Left me a lonely man.

Pre chorus

Was sweet as wine; the water.

But so, so hard to find.

Crave it more than oxygen.

Why can’t I have mine?

Chorus

What’s wrong, what’s the matter?

Why can’t I hold love?

I’ve held it in my hands

But not long enough.

Just had a taste of it;

Left me wanting more.

It slips thru my fingers.

As the water pours.

Verse

Love’s a lot like a mirage.

It’s here then it’s gone.

I need it, have to have it

So I travel on.

Love’s trickled thru my fingers.

Watched it disappear.

Left me disappointed.

The reason isn’t clear.

Pre chorus

Was sweet as wine; the water.

But so, so hard to find.

Crave it more than oxygen.

Why can’t I have mine?

Chorus

What’s wrong, what’s the matter?

Why can’t I hold love?

I’ve held it in my hands

But not long enough.

Just had a taste of it;

Left me wanting more.

It slips thru my fingers.

As the water pours.

Bridge

Wandering always searching;

Times crept slowly by.

Sadness circles overhead,

Seems I’ve caught her eye.
