Water

Water to a woman in the desert
Healing to the driest bones
I have longed for this I have wept and prayed
Believing I would live to see this day
But faith gets lost along the way to vows in sand and hearts of clay
Water
More than the sum of every petitions
Better than the best of laid plans
There is no guess work here
No old wrongs to right
No creeping fears or notions of flight
Just a show of hands in the sweetest kiss
And a lifetime left for nights like this
Water

I'll be the watchman at your borders
Like the tatoos on your shoulder
I have made my peace I could ask no more
I am signing off through this open door
I will take your name I will wear your ring
And put aside every childish thing
Water
