How Far to the Water

i do thirst and i do crave i want to climb
 to the top of the mountains
 in bourbon rain
 i have read and i have seen i want to
 drink the shine of the mountains
 from my canteen.
 how far to the water
 cuz every well in this country's dry
 the cup that i brought her
 gone and vanished before my eyes
 how far to the water
 know his caravan won't turn around
 a cowgirl's claim a cowboy's name
 were both the shame
 of that one horse town
 the vines of france the grapes of spain
 a dance in the fountains
 of pink champagne
 virginia wolfe virginia g.
 a dance in the fountains of long iced tea
 CHORUS
 forty days the sun beat down
 forty nights never cooled down
 forty days i cut my hands
 forty nights on the rocks of the land
 my faith is beginning to sink
 please missy can i have a drink
 i do thirst the vines of france and
 i do crave the grapes of spain
 but i will settle for a dance
 in the fountains of virgin rain
 i have read virginia wolfe and
 i have drank virginia g
 but i will take a bath in your
 fountains let my soul free
 CHORUS
