No Water - Gemma Ray

Got blood on my feet

Mudskippers at my heels

No man or machine

Has ever seen anything this real

No water

No water here

No shelter from the sun

No hello gonna come from anyone

Oh, been remembering the feel of your skin on mine

Been remembering anything to reach the end of this line

No water

No water here

Oh

If you were the one, then I know I would see you

Crouching in the bushes with the sleep still in your eyes

If you were the one then I?

d never believe you

Were standing in a tree trunk with those animal eyes

Oh no

It’s just a dream

This treacherous route

Confuses and convolutes

Like a feverish memory

Oh Lord!

I really thought you came to me

No water

No water here

Oh

If you were the one, then I know I would see you

Crouching in the bushes with the sleep still in your eyes

If you were the one then I?

d never believe you

Were standing in a tree trunk with those animal eyes

Oh no
