[Verse]

High and dry i

n the long hot

 day,

lost and lonel

y in every way
        
Got the flats 

all around me,

 sky up above,

yes, I need a 

little water o

f love


I've been too 

long lonely an

d my heart fee

ls pain,

crying out for

 some soothing

 rain

   I believe I

've taken enou

gh,

yes I need a l

ittle water of

 love

[Chorus]

Water of love 

deep in the gr

ound,
             
but there ain’

              
t no water her

  
e to be found

Some day baby 

when the river

 runs free,
             
It's gonna car

              
ry that water 

   
of love to me

[Solo]

[Verse]
          
There's a bird

 up in a tree,

sitting up hig

h, just a-wait

in' for me to 

die
            
If I don't get

              
 some water so

    
on,
        
I'll be dead a

nd gone in the

 afternoon

[Chorus]

Water of love 

deep in the gr

ound,
             
but there ain’

              
t no water her

  
e to be found

Some day baby 

when the river

 runs free,
             
It's gonna car

              
ry that water 

   
of love to me

[Verse]

Once I had a w

oman I could c

Once I had a w

Once there was

e

  You know it'

s evil when yo

u're living al

[Chorus]

Water of love 

deep in the gr

ound,
             
but there ain’

Some day baby 

when the river

 runs free,
             
It's gonna car

of love to me
           
Carry that wat
