water of love

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
