Paroles de Water

Water to a woman in the desert Healing to the driest bones I have longed for this I have wept and prayed Believing I would live to see this day But faith gets lost along the way to vows in sand and hearts of clay Water More than the sum of every petitions Better than the best of laid plans There is no guess work here No old wrongs to right No creeping fears or notions of flight Just a show of hands in the sweetest kiss And a lifetime left for nights like this Water I'll be the watchman at your borders Like the tatoos on your shoulder I have made my peace I could ask no more I am signing off through this open door I will take your name I will wear your ring And put aside every childish thing Water
