I Need Water

Well the rain had not come down

All the fields had turned to brown

I left you by the riverside

Knowing you would catch a ride

Your watch is on the table

It's been silent since last April

Time is moving slow

I'm no good at letting go

But don't you know it's hard to cry

When all the rivers have run dry

I've been holding on for years

But I need water to build these tears

You left your footprints in the sand

In this desert where I stand

Holding up the dying flower

Waiting for the weeping hour

Wind blow through this valley

Cover me with mercy

Send down a little rain

To end this love in vain

But don't you know it's hard to cry

When all the rivers have run dry

I've been holding on for years

But I need water to build these tears

But don't you know it's hard to cry

When all the rivers have run dry

I've been holding on for years

But I need water

But don't you know it's hard to cry

When all the rivers have run dry

I've been holding on for years

But I need water, I need water to build these tears
