Peter Hammill
Oasis
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Still by the pool of clear water
Fed by a secret spring, your lips are sealed
But in your body language
Angels sing

[Verse 2]
I swear on the Bible
Swear on the sacred and profane
I think I'm drowning in the vortex
Your eyes contain

[Chorus]
Your secret face
Show me your secret face

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Let me drink from the well of secrets
Pluck the fruit from the tree
And feel your secret world envelop me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Your secret face
Show me your secret face

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Show me your secret face
Naked as the sun
Silent as the stars
Secret oasis in a desert world
