The Water Carrier

Crystal fountain springing from the hill

It irrigates your soul, you may drink your fill

Water of life carried high

One hand upon the gallon jar, feel her fix my eye

Every good traveler's for the taking

All good money for the making

Seller's market, wet appeal

Water carrier, let's make the deal

Covered face and black pool eyes

Between us, no words spoken, no words to the wise

Here's to another time and a drink somewhere

Plush on a Nain carpet on a cafe chair

Every good traveler's for the taking

All good money for the making

Seller's market, wet appeal

Water carrier, let's make the deal
