Lyrics
Water in the Sky
Didn’t wanna leave
Didn’t wanna say goodbye
Didn’t wanna have another mote in my eye
I wanna scream
I wanna cry
And I wanna pull this thorn out of my side
The river’s dry
The river’s bent
And I don’t know where all the water went
I can live
I can die
And I can be just a dust devil in the sky
But the river finds it’s way all on its own
You can’t tell it where to go
Not with hammer or with bone
I do not sit in judgment
Don’t even wonder why
Cause if the river runs dry
There’s just more water in the sky
