David Wilcox - Distant Water lyrics

from Home Again .............................................. It's like you pa** to me this bitter cup So I can take a sip And I know that it's likely gonna burn But never mind the taste of it I take what I can get It sure is a hard way to learn I mean look at how I sip your cup of nasty Like I'm lucky for a taste to quench my thirst When love creates an optical illusion I'm gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed Chorus If I was dying in the desert I would see shining on the sand True love, like distant water On dry land I liked everything about you, except the way you treated me But that didn't seem to matter much at first I longed for you to fill me Like a wino loves his drink But every time you filled me with a thirst Chorus 'Cause I was looking for a goddess who could save me So I played the worshipping fool The colder your kindness The more it convinced me You're just that cool Now just look at how I sip your cup of nasty Like I'm lucky for a taste to quench my thirst When love creates an optical illusion I'm gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed Chorus True love like distant water On dry land .............................................. © David Wilcox, all rights reserved
