We found an oasis
in the vast, barren desert
of our lives
We found rest, and shade,
and cool, clear water
to drink
and to swim in
to lie next to
together
under the stars

And we were afraid to leave
to cross more desert
to reach our destinations
for we had far to go
and we didn't know
if we'd ever reach them
or simply die under the cruel sun

We found each other
we found love
And we are afraid
to let each other go
even though we know
we must
Go on alone
separately
to our appointed paths
For what if we never find again
a love like the one we found
together
in our little oasis
under the starry sky
