High and Dry

She used to live on the east side of town
She'd come around
I'd say hey woman lay down by my side
You've been travelling long and wide
You need to rest a while
I said hey woman lay down by my side
I said my sweet lady
We'll see the seasons turning
We will watch the sun return
We'll see the deserts burning
Cos tomorrow we'll be high and dry

We'll flow like a river
Flow like a river, Mary
Never turning to see what's by my side
I trust I always will receive love
I trust I always will have love
I trust I always will receive love
I trust I always will have love
My sweet lady

(Come on, come on, yeah-hey, come on
Come on, come on, yeah-hey, come on
Come on, yeah-hey, come on
We'll see the seasons turning
Watch the sun return
We'll see deserts burning)
Cos tomorrow we'll be high and dry
(Come on, come on, yeah-hey, come on
Come on, come on, yeah-hey, come on)

Now listen gentlemen, please, if you of me
There's so many lives I'm told
That won't let love unfold
So let the sweet, sweet breeze that's calling you
And teaching you to be free
Like an ocean flow, never turning to see love t pass me by
Darling please don't cry

I trust I always will receive love
I trust I always will have love
I trust I always will receive love
I trust I always will have love
My sweet lady
My sweet lady
My sweet lady
