Lyrics
Water Carrier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Crystal fountain springing from the hill.
It irrigates your soul. You may drink your fill.
Water of life, carried high.
One hand upon the gallon jar. Feel her fix my eye.
Every good traveller's for the taking.
All good money for the making.
Seller's market: Wet appeal.
Water carrier - let's make the deal.
Covered face and black pool eyes.
Between us, no words spoken: No words to the wise.
Here's to another time and a drink somewhere.
Plush on a Nain carpet; on a café chair.
