High and dry in the long hot day   Lost and lonely, 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 soothin' rain   I believe I've taken enough   Yes, I need a little water of love      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, he is gone   Once there was a river, now there's a stone   You know it's evil when you're livin' alone      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      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      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      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
