Water of Love
MARK KNOPFLER
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
