Water Of LoveHigh and dry in the long hot dayLost and lonely every way Got the flats all around, sky up above Yes, I need a little water of love I've been too long lonely and my heart feel pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough Yes, I need a little water of love Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Someday baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high Just awaiting for me to die If I don't get some water soon I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Someday baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman. Now my woman—she gone Once there was a river now there's a stone You know it's evil when you're living alone Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Someday baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me Carry that water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Someday baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me |
