Serpent in the sand

I was lost in the Desert You came and offered me Water You're the Serpent in the sand You've watched me for days Wondering the dunes Till I could go no Further You're the Serpent in the sand I saw a mirage Of the boy I once loved And as I brought the cool water to my lips You said to me "let it be" You're the Serpent in the sand I drank your water and you invited me in And blindly I followed You're the Serpent in the sand When you were done with me Once you stripped me of my dignity Once you left my heart bare You discarded of me I was lost in the dunes once again And you're the Serpent in the sand And I dreamt of you for weeks once I had reached Civilization I was scorched and wounded Blindly I let you in Never again will I encounter another Serpent in the sand Never again will I follow a Serpent such as You
