Mary Black - One Way Donkey Ride lyrics

There you may stand in your splendour and jewels

swaying me in both directions

One is the right one, the other for fools

How do I make my selection?

The city lies silent in the warm morning light

The sand is as golden as saffron

Oasis of love sweet water of life

God bless the poor ones who have none though they've tried

Someone is drowning down there in the flood

But this river will dry by tomorrow

Is its ocean or stream this love in my blood?

Bringer of joy and sorrow?

The end of the journey must soon be in sight

Birth is the start of the swansong

Oasis of love sweet water of life

God bless the poor ones who want some by are denied

No one is given the map to their dreams

All we can do is to trace it

See where we go to

Know where we've been

Build up the courage to face it

While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light

Roaming the land of the ancients

Oasis of love sweet water of life

God bless the poor ones whose patience never died

While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight

Searching for trees in the forest

Oasis of love sweet water of life

God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried

God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied

God bless the poor ones whose patience never died

God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride
