Cold Cold Water

I saddled up my pony right And rode into the ghostly night It was wide, wide open, wide, wide open I left the only home I knew I stayed alive and I found you Now I take you where the water's deep And make the air you breathe so sweet But is it not enough to be complete? Please? Let me give you everything you need, please? We found a way, we found the streets Directions sweat under the sheets And I let you have it, let you have it But it can be a lonely place Desire comes, desire fades There's a bright one caught your fancy eye It's okay so long as you stay mine And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame That you let other numbers in the game Now I suffer for your hungry eye Oh why must it see more than mine? It's a light you're after, 'cause light moves faster But when I ride again into the night My torch will shoot flames strong and bright And my absence will remind you of How tough it is to be in love And it's not what I think it's what you say, hey And it works great for you to have your way, hey But if the west can be a desperate place You search all day for just a taste Of the cold, cold water, cold, cold water And if you think I've gone too long Listen the sky will sing this song As it burns up all the memories That flow like water out of me
