Water Of Love
(Mark Knopfler)

High and dry on a 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 to long lonely and my heart feels pain
Cryin‘ out for some soothin‘ rain
I believe I’ve taken enough
Yes 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 the tree sittin‘ 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 she’s gone
Once there was a river now there’s a stone
You know it’s evil when you’re livin‘ alone
