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
