COOL WATER

It's been awhile since I've let myself feel deeply
But your gentle smile makes it all so easy
I was feeling lost in the dream 
Like a man in the dessert with no canteen
But you're cool water

You're no mirage but an oasis on the journey
Before it seemed too late for love
Now it feels like it might be too early
For though I want to slake my thirst, first I want to know you 
You're cool water

You arrived in the morning like the dew
So still and clear that I can see right through

Will you be my friend or just an old acquaintance?
Only time will tell 'cause I've learned that love takes patience
When my throat was parched 
And I was feeling dry
You were cool water
For my mind
