Water Of Love Lyrics - Dire Straits - Dire Straits

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 

Crying out for some soothing rain 

I believe I have 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 

Some day baby when the river runs free 

It's gonna carry that water of love to me

There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high 

Just a-waiting for me to die 

If I don't get some water soon 

I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon 

Water of love deep in the ground 

But there ain't no water here to be found 

Some day baby when the river runs free 

It's gonna carry that water of love to me 

Once I had a woman I could call my own 

Once I had a woman now my woman she gone 

Once there was a river now there's a stone 

You know it's evil when you're living alone 

Water of love deep in the ground 

But there ain't no water here to be found 

Some day baby when the river runs free 

It's gonna carry that water of love to me

(Carry that) water of love deep in the ground 

But there ain't no water here to be found 

Some day baby when the river runs free 

It's gonna carry that water of love to me
