Graham Parker - Oasis Lyrics
I am a lucky man thats what I thinkI might come close to the edge but I never sinkAnd I notice that vulnerable look in your eyes tonightAnd in the desert that passes for my heart, sweet rain is falling tonightYoure my oasis, youre my oasis, oasisBe my oasis and I will try not to be your mirageI must be choked with emotion, I cant find the right words to sayIm not a pillar of devotion, but dont let that stand in your wayAnd as the sun sinks blood red in the west it reminds me of your bleeding heartAnd as I lay down my head on your breast nothing can tear us apartCos youre my oasis, youre my oasisBe my oasis and I wont be your mirageCos I am a lucky man, yeah thats what I thinkI might be swimming for my life but Ill never sinkAnd as the quicksand comes up to my neck and holds me down like a graveI will reach out for your hand and as I touch it Im saved by an oasisYoure my oasis, oasisBe my oasis and I will try not to be your mirageAnd I wont be your mirage
