Water of Love — текст песни (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



Ive 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

Itll carry that water of love to me



Theres a bird up in a tree sitting up high

Waiting for me to die

If I dont get some water soon

Ill 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 theres a stone

You know its evil when youre living alone
