 (Chords if you'd rather)
Can  I draw some water  babe
From  your well
Can  I draw some water  baby
'Cause  mine has failed
The  bucket won't  come up
No  matter how hard  I crank
The  bucket won't  come up
I  think it sank
I  walk the road  between your  house and mine
I  hope the bridge  hasn't collapsed
I  hope the man  at the gate will let  me through
Unless  he's holding  on to you
Holding  on, holding on to you
 Solo riff deal
How  has your garden  grown
Is  there fruit on your tree
Do  you need a laborer
To  pull up those weeds
Oh  I am so lonely  babe
In  my house on the hill
Oh  I am so lonely  baby
This  silence kills
 Rap-thing . . . (same as main riff/verse)
 Yeah, I want to hold you
 squeeze you
 Love you need you
 Feel you touch you
 Hear you say
 Reaching me, you see? (not sure about that one)
 Everywhere I turn
 I need to know
 Are you gonna wait
 And be there when I get home
 I'm crossing the break
 A thousand miles of foam
 If it's worth your wait
 And the nights alone
 So far from home
 Girl you've grown
 And changed so much
 I love it all
 What you were
 And who you are
 And who you'll be
 Only time will tell
 But your wishing well is calling me
 This water eased my pain and hurt
 And only you can quench my thirst
 So I'm working, I'm working
 To bring it home
 Come on girl
 Keep holding on
I  wish that I  could sit
In  your garden again
And  watch the stars  at night
From  your bed
 Outro, just the main riff and fade
