Peter Hammill - Oasis Lyrics

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
