Thirsty World
by Doug Anderson

Album: The Only One

Street corner lady standing out in the heat
Selling two-dollar papers
For the money to eat tonight
People passing her by
Another man's lonely, drink in his hand
Waving on the whiskey to understand
But his throat's still dry
There's a tear in his eye
And they're both looking up
For a little hope to fill their cup

Let it pour on down
Let it soak the ground
Let it wash away the hurt and pain
Come on, let it rain
'Til it overflows
We're all in the same boat
Sometimes it's like
A desert here on earth
Love is water, it's a thirsty world

You and me, baby, been standing our ground
Holding on our grudges
Laying them down between us
Can this really be us
Like two faraway countries fighting a war
Been united so long, we forgotten what for
So, we keep on, girl, it's so wrong
Just like those right next to me
Only God knows what we really need

Let it pour on down
Let it soak the ground
Let it wash away the hurt and pain
Come on, let it rain
'Til it overflows
We're all in the same boat
Sometimes it's like
A desert here on earth
Love is water, it's a thirsty world

Oh, let it overflow
We're all in the same boat
Sometimes it's like
A desert here on earth
Love is water, it's a thirsty world
It's a thirsty world
