lyrics

Water on your mind, Water on your mind.
Praying for rain.
Water on your mind. Water on you mind.
Dust in your veins.

See the wheat fields, wilt and wither
Wind blown soil, there and thither
Greedy tiller left no roots to hold
Drill the well a hundred deeper
Such the practice, much the cheaper
Faithful leap Or future fleer be?

Trickle faintly, thirsty wellspring
Not much left when done the damn deed
Not a downstream thought to stem our tide.
Bottle. Barrel. Pipeline narrow.
shunt the flow to desert furrow (pharaoh)
Rivershed no longer sheds its tears.

The trouble was the familiar one:
Far too much power, far too little knowledge earned. 
The fault was our own. The fault was our own.
The trouble was the familiar one: Far too much power.
The fault was our own. The fault was my own.
