One Way Donkey Ride-Sandy Denny

[00:05.90]There you may stand in your splendour and jewels [00:10.80]Swaying me in both directions. [00:14.36] [00:15.92]One is the right one, the other for fools [00:20.97]How do I make my selection? [00:26.09]The city lies silent in the warm morning light [00:29.90] [00:30.83]The sand is as golden as saffron. [00:35.83]Oasis of love, sweet water of life [00:40.75]God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried. [00:46.75] [00:51.07]Someone is drowning down there in the flood [00:55.06] [00:56.06]But this river will dry by tomorrow. [00:58.80] [01:00.74]Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood [01:05.04] [01:05.79]Bringer of joy or of sorrow? [01:09.79] [01:11.03]The end of the journey must soon be in sight [01:15.23] [01:16.10]Birth is the start of the swansong. [01:19.24] [01:20.93]Oasis of love, sweet water of life [01:24.87] [01:26.01]God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied. [01:31.88] [01:36.49]No one is given the map to their dreams [01:40.43] [01:41.17]All we can do is to trace it. [01:44.42] [01:46.35]See where we go to [01:48.66]Know where weve been [01:50.47] [01:51.35]Build up the courage to face it [01:54.86] [01:56.06]While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light [02:00.25] [02:01.20]Roaming the land of the ancients. [02:04.57] [02:06.07]Oasis of love, sweet water of life [02:11.06]God bless the poor ones whose patience never died. [02:17.55] [02:18.55]While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight [02:22.55] [02:23.73]Searching for trees in the forest. [02:26.98] [02:28.49]Oasis of love, sweet water of life [02:32.75] [02:33.68]God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried. [02:41.61]God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried. [02:46.91] [02:48.85]God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied. [02:54.65] [02:56.27]God bless the poor ones whose patience never died. [03:01.89] [03:03.76]God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride.
