Mark Knopfler - Water Of Love lyrics

Dire Straits

WATER OF LOVE

(Mark Knopfler)

High and dry in the long hot day

Lost and lonely every way

Got the flats all around me sky up above

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

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 when you're living alone
