lyrics

(sand hisses on the tent)
(eh-eh... eh-eh)

Three days of dunes between us two
My tin kettle rattles on the coals
I brew the tea the way you do
Three glasses: bitter, sweet, then whole
(eh-eh)

The moon rides low to hear these strings
(the moon, the moon)
It carries what the desert sings

I say water, I mean your name
(your name, your name)
I say water, I mean your name
Every well I pass says the same
I say water, I mean your name
(water... water...)
I say water, I mean your name

Your blue scarf knotted at my wrist
Still smells of rain that don't exist
I walk at night, I rest at noon
And argue romance with the moon
(eh-eh, the moon)

I say water, I mean your name
(your name, your name)
I say water, I mean your name
Every well I pass says the same
I say water, I mean your name
(water... water...)
I say water, I mean your name

If I arrive with empty hands
(empty hands)
Know that I gave them to the sands

I say water, I mean your name
(your name, your name)
I say water, I mean your name
Every well I pass says the same
I say water, I mean your name
(water... water...)
I say water, I mean your name

(wind takes the last note)
Water...
(your name)
