lyrics

Thirsty - A. Jenkins August 2022

They say the storm is coming, they say it’s gonna rain
and when the heavens open there will be life again
They whisper worthless promises into an empty sky
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry

I looked across the desert, I saw you in the sand
and something in me shifted the day you took my hand
I could make a garden with all the tears I cry
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry

I’m longing for your loving, your fingers on my skin
a drop of water on my tongue, that’s how I let you in
And now I cannot give you up, no matter how I try
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry

He must be a loving man, a tender man and true
He must be devoted, to be so sweet to you
And he must be a good man, to put up with your lies
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry

I’m diving in the water, I’m swimming in the sea
and I could fill an ocean with all you mean to me
I know our time is ending, I have to say goodbye
I’m so thirsty but the well is running dry

With every day that passes I dig a deeper well
but there’s nothing at the bottom- this one leads straight to hell
I pray for my salvation, I worry for my soul
for there’s no mercy waiting at the bottom of this hole
and I will see the devil the moment that I die
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry
