lyrics

Late last night when the dry spell broke,
The gutters all gushed and the water wheel spoke,
The rooster ran circles ‘round his weathervane,
And the Rest fell on the roof like rain.

I’m gonna throw my bucket down the bottom of the well
Tie it to the rope on the Mission bell
Watch the songbirds rise when it takes its toll
Gonna stir up some water for my thirsty soul.
I’m betting my life on a thirsty soul
Bring a little water, Sylvie
From the watering hole

Standing on the ledge down at Paradise Falls
There’s no turning back when a Leap of Faith calls.
You just curl into a cannonball and hope you don’t drown
And yell like the dickens the whole we down.
I’m betting my life on a thirsty soul…

Winter’s passed and the spring comes around
I wait like a seed in the cold, wet ground
Trying to break through and let the leaves unfold
I wait like a secret waiting to be told
Kicking at the silence like an old tin can
It’s just another day of promise in the promised land
Just one drink’s gonna me whole
I’m betting my life on a thirsty soul.
