Thirsty Children
1999 © Diane Waters


What scares me most, is what you see
When your holding up the mirror in front of me
Your comfortable keeping me an arms lengths distance
Offering a little bit more resistance than you want to

You’ve been watching me
And I don’t try to run
When your holding me down
I just pretend that I don’t like it

chorus
Wrap me up inside your blanket
Till it’s warm enough to see
We’re only running from you hiding from me
Wrap me up inside your blanket
Till the ice turns into water
And we drink like thirsty children
Drink like thirsty children

It’s you again, and you’re asking questions
Then you dance around the room like your walking on air
The color rushes to my face
As your lips turn up to smile
And I roll up in a ball if I should try to speak

You’re like the roughest ride
In a four wheel drive
When you rock me to my sences
It’s so cold
It’s so cold

chorus
Wrap me up inside your blanket
Till it’s warm enough to see
We’re only running from you hiding from me
Wrap me up inside your blanket
Till the ice turns into water
And we drink like thirsty children
We drink like thirsty children…

And I’m sitting on my hands, to keep them off of you
