Cool Water

If I hadn't gone through hell I wouldn't have alighted on your face, on your face, on your face Those tricky little flames were nothing But delighted as they burned, burned, burned me on my way When I reached the other side Your arms were open wide, you were the cool Cool water for the pain If I hadn't missed the boat I wouldn't have collided with my fate, with my fate, with my fate Those tricky little waves were nothing But delighted as they crashed and pushed me back again But when I reached the other side Your arms were open wide, you were the cool Cool water for the pain It doesn't matter that I fought so hard They don't give trophies for trying But I found the prize when I looked into your eyes If I hadn't lost the bet I wouldn't have decided to behave, to behave, to behave Those tricky little players were nothing But delighted as I caved But when I reached the other side Your arms were open wide, you were the cool, cool water It doesn't matter that I fought so hard They don't give trophies for trying But I found the prize when I looked into your eyes If I hadn't given up I wouldn't have been chided to be brave Yes, be brave, you must be brave Those tricky little games were nothing But delighted as I rolled the dice and I played When I reached the other side Your arms were open wide, cool water
