Oasis - Peter Hammill

Beside the pool of clear water

Fed by a secret spring, your lips are sealed

But in your body language

Angels sing

I swear on the Bible

Swear on the sacred and profane

I think I’m drowning in the vortex

Your eyes contain

Your secret face

Show me your secret face

With stars and moon light for shelter

Your breathing close in my ear

The wind is whispering a mystery

For me to hear:

Your secret name

Tell me your secret name

Oasis in a desert world

Tell me your secret name

Let me drink from the well of secrets

Pluck the fruit from the tree

And feel your secret world envelop me

Your secret face

Show me your secret face

Show me your secret face

Naked as the sun

Silent as the stars

Secret oasis in a desert world
