He breaks down at the edge of the oasis and takes a rest he cannot afford. The woman from his dreams comforts him and gives him a taste of happiness.
lyrics
Wake up here in the middle of the night and the darkness hits like a blinding light,
Sharp like a knife, doesn't shine, doesn't glow, a reminder that you reap what you sow,
Day by day, well ain't life grand? It's hardly what I hoped or panned,
Fall down dead at the end of the day, Well you can be sure I'll wake up that way,
All I want is to wake up next to you,
I'll think it's a dream, pinch me, tell me it's all true,
All I want is to carry through the day,
Knowing you'll be there when I come home again,
I haven't met you yet but I believe the futures set,
You'll fall from the sky and give me life right where I lie,
For you I must prepare, I'll fix myself to show I care,
Until then I'll just wait and not will my desire sate,
All I want is to wake up next to you,
I'll think it's a dream, pinch me, tell me it's all true,
All I want is to carry through the day,
Knowing you'll be there when I come home again,
All I want is to wake up next to you (wake up next to you),
I'll think it's a dream, pinch me, tell me it's all true (tell me it's all true),
All I want is to carry through the day (carry through the day),
Knowing you'll be there when I come home again,
(All I want is) When I come home again,
(All I want is) When I come home again,
(All I want is) When I come home again,
When I come home again,
