Like Water in the Desert

Like water in the desert
 Or your hand upon the sun
 Like a bird who's lost its feathers
 A hammer on your thumb
 I've given you my tattered tunes
 And lifted up your veil
 I've sat upon your amber throne
 And lived to tell the tale
 This I know
 All creatures meet at the watering hole
 This I see
 Me in you and you in me
 It rained again last Thursday
 I came close to letting go,
 The desert drank it all
 When the cistern overflowed
 The sunlight held no promise
 But I let fly anyway
 The wind blew close upon us
 At the edge of the day
 Glad for the oasis
 Happy to stay a while
 Can you find where we misplaced us
 Or where you left your smile?
 Like water in the desert
 Or your hand upon the sun
 Like a bird who's lost its feathers
 A hammer on your thumb
 I've given you my tattered tunes
 And lifted up your veil
 I've sat upon your amber throne
 And lived to tell the tale
