Water Of Love Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

High and dry in the long hot day 

lost and lonely every day 

got the flats all around me sky up above 

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 

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 a tree sitting 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 is gone 

once there was a river now there's a stone 

you know it's evil then you're living alone
