Down To The Waterline
Dire Straits
4:02Okay, well, this is the song called "Water of Love" This is a strange idea But it's maybe one you want to think about, alright? "Water of Love," let's go! High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely every way Guess I got the flats all around me, sky up above I need a little water of love 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 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 Bird up in tree sitting high Just 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's gone Once there was a river, now there's a stone You know it's evil when you're living alone, keep up 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 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 Thank you
