Schwa Lyrics

Water of Love

Lyricist: Dire Straits
Vocalist: Ed McGee

High and dry in the long hot day 
Lost and lonley every day 
Got the flats all around me sky up above 
I need a little water of love 
I've been too long lonley 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
