Understand I haven't slept for days
I've walked for weeks in unfamiliar ways
My lips are burned, my feet are black and blue

Through desert strife, through the Nullarbor
I'm drinking sand, I'm up and hoping for more
I find you, like a haze, like a blue lagoon

I wish you'd come to me at night
You know I'm singing in my sleep
You're like some kind of mirage
An oasis pure and deep
Let me rest, let me drink from your blue lagoon

Like shadow play or like a puppeteer
I see you move, your silhouette so clear
Now I know you're not real
Can't love what you can't feel

Maybe I'm not the kind of guy
that you think you want to meet
'Cause there's a look that's in my eye
That makes you think my love is cheap.
let me rest, let me drink from your blue lagoon

The mist will clear sometime
on stage the lights are bright
the songs I sing won't bring you to me
You can't ask for much from a mannequin

I wish you'd come to me at night
You know I'm singing in my sleep
You're like some kind of mirage
An oasis pure and deep

Maybe I'm not the kind of guy
That you think you want to meet
'Cause there's a look that's in my eye
That makes you think my love is cheap.
Let me rest, let me drink from your blue lagoon
Let me rest, let me drink from your blue lagoon
