water dries (rewrite 1)


I know this man
he works for the state
he tends to the land
with a shovel and a rake, and he
follows the sunshine, but sometimes
the raindrops, they fall on his head
now me, I'd be cussin' and cryin'
but this is what he said

          water dries
          the skies, they clear
          water flies into the atmosphere
          water dries
          it ain't no crime
          everything changes with the passing of time

so look at this man
he works really hard
he does what he can
like it's his own back yard, and he says
there's no use worrying
about the way that it all will turn out
you just do the best that you can
that's what it's all about

          water dries...

it's not like the hard times
don't knock upon his door
he just decided he doesn't need them anymore

          water dries...
