Oasis Lyrics - Graham Parker

I am a lucky man that's what I think 

I might come close to the edge but I never sink 

And I notice that vulnerable look in your eyes tonight 

And in the desert that passes for my heart, sweet rain is falling tonight 

You're my oasis, you're my oasis, oasis 

Be my oasis and I will try not to be your mirage 

I must be choked with emotion, I can't find the right words to say 

I'm not a pillar of devotion, but don't let that stand in your way 

And as the sun sinks blood red in the west it reminds me of your bleeding heart 

And as I lay down my head on your breast nothing can tear us apart 

Cos you're my oasis, you're my oasis 

Be my oasis and I won't be your mirage 

Cos I am a lucky man, yeah that's what I think 

I might be swimming for my life but I'll never sink 

And as the quicksand comes up to my neck and holds me down like a grave 

I will reach out for your hand and as I touch it I'm saved by an oasis
