Water Of Love

[Instrumental Intro] High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely in every way Got the flats all around me, sky up above Yes, I need a little water of love I've been too long lonely and my heart feels 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 Some day, 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 a-waiting 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 Some day, 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 Some day, baby, when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Some day, baby, when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me
