High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely in 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'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 [ guitar ] Once I had a man I could call my own Once I had a man now my man is 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... Water of love deep in the ground... Water of love deep in the ground... Water of love deep in the ground...
