Water in the Desert
I never promised you a garden
Full of roses so red
I never promised you I would be
The lover you always wished you had
I never promised you a forever
Full of candlelight and wine
But when you said that I had your heart
I tried my best to give you mine
I tried to be your Angel
I tried to be your Light
I tried to reach to the Future
The one you said would be so bright
You called to me across the distance
Opened my heart when I heard your pain
You touched my soul with words of kindness
Reminded me how to fly again
But something in my heart just stopped me
From opening up to pain once more
And now it seems that all its pieces
Lie dead before me on the floor
I tried to be your Angel
I tried to be your Light
I tried to reach to the Future
The one you said would be so bright
But like water in the desert
The feeling fled with morning�s light
I was too afraid that I would hurt you
And so left silently in the night
Now here I am alone without you
Wondering if there was a chance
Searching for water in the desert
Hoping to find romance at last
I tried to be your Angel
I tried to be your Light
I tried to reach to the Future
The one you said would be so bright
But like water in the desert
The feeling fled with morning�s light
I was too afraid that I would hurt you
And so left silently in the night
Now here I am alone without you
Wondering if there was a chance
Searching for water in the desert
Hoping to find romance at last
You tried to be my Angel
You tried to be my Light
I left you stranded in the desert
Romance now cold thanks to my fright
(Fading)
I tried to be your Angel
You tried to be my Light
Now we�re searching for water in the desert
Hoping to find romance at last
