[Verse 1]
People keep searching till their feet get sore
Do they know what they're looking for?
They're hungry for that water
They see that water every day
It shines and then it flows away
How're they gonna make it stay?
It leaves them high and dry

[Verse 2]
Work up the ladder, work till you bleed
Get what you want but it's not what you need
Still hungry for that water
And though they'll jump to your command
Your power's just a field of sand
You can't hold water in your hand
It leaves you high and dry
It leaves you high and dry

[Bridge]
Lying and sighing and trying to sleep
I thought I heard the rain fall all night long
Maybe I'm dreaming too deep
When I wake up, whеn I wake up it's gone

[Verse 3]
Working for a saviour, waiting for the man
Do what you should, do what you can
Still hungry for that watеr
Break the bounds, toe the line
Play the game or just resign
And settle for a bottle of wine
It leaves you high and dry
It leaves you high and dry
Leaves you high and dry
It leaves you high and dry
