from home again it s like you pass to me this bitter cup so i can take a sip and i know that it s likely gonna burn but never mind the taste of it i take what i can get it sure is a hard way to learn i mean look at how i sip your cup of nasty like i m lucky for a taste to quench my thirst when love creates an optical illusion i m gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed chorus if i was dying in the desert i would see shining on the sand true love like distant water on dry land i liked everything about you except the way you treated me but that didn t seem to matter much at first i longed for you to fill me like a wino loves his drink but every time you filled me with a thirst chorus cause i was looking for a goddess who could save me so i played the worshipping fool the colder your kindness the more it convinced me you re just that cool now just look at how i sip your cup of nasty like i m lucky for a taste to quench my thirst when love creates an optical illusion i m gonna see it just the way it was rehearsed chorus true love like distant water on dry land david wilcox all rights reserved
