Dire Straits - Water Of Love lyrics

High and dry in the long hot day

Lost and lonley every day

Got the flats all around me sky up above

I need a little water of love

I`ve been too long lonley and my heart feels pain

Crying out for some soothing rain

I believe I have taken enough

I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground

No water here to be found

Some day baby when the river runs free

It`ll carry that water of love to me

There`s a bird up in a tree sitting up high

Waiting for me to die

If I don`t get some water soon

I`ll be dead and gone in the afternoon

Once I had a woman I could call my own

Once I had a woman now my woman is gone

Once there was a river now there`s a stone

You know it`s evil then you`re living alone
