Analysis of Oasis
Jackie Newport 1952 (Chicago)
You are my water in the desert
My shelter from the storm
My refuge in times of trouble
a soft blanket when I am cold
A cool breeze on a summer day
A shoulder for me to cry on
When I' m feeling sad or hurt
when I feel like I can't hold on
you say hold on to me
I won't let you go
You are always there
my best friend, my love
You are my Oasis
