ECan I draw some wAater babe
EFrom your wAell
ECan I draw some wAater baby
E'Cause mine has fAailed
EThe bucket Awon't come up
ENo matter how hAard I crank
EThe bucket Awon't come up
EI think it sAank
Chorus:
EI walk the Broad between Ayour house and Emine
EI hope the Bbridge hasn't Acollapsed
EI hope the Bman at the gate will lAet me thrEough
EUnless he's Bholding on to Ayou
AHolding on, holding on to Eyou

Solo riff deal
Verse 2:
EHow has your Agarden grown
EIs there fruit on your Atree
EDo you need a Alaborer
ETo pull up those Aweeds
EOh I am so Alonely babe
EIn my house on the Ahill
EOh I am so Alonely baby
EThis silence Akills
Chorus
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
Verse 3:
EI wish that AI could sit
EIn your garden agaAin
EAnd watch the Astars at night
EFrom your Abed
Solo-riff
Chorus
Outro, just the main riff and fade
