| 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
|
| Cryin' out for some soothing rain
|
| I believe I’ve 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’ll carry that water of love to me
|
| Once I had a man I could call my own
|
| Once I had a man, now my man is 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’ll carry that water of love to me |
