Drought Lyrics - Ahi

I never been to Cincinnati 

Well maybe I'll take some time to make that ride on the road to the west coast 

Nor have I been to Salt Lake City 

But I'm on my way to San Jose and don't know when I'm coming home 

I've been looking for the well And I'm looking for the water 

But in this city now It's all dust and mortar 

I've been praying for the rainfall 

Hoping for a small cloud But this far from you, girl 

I should expect a drought 

I've never been this long without you Over twenty-five hundred miles and forty hours with the fuel gauge in the red 

You know I'm dying to be somebody 

I wish you were here with me in the shotgun seat as we play these old cassettes 

I've been looking for the river 

As I'm headed to the ocean But in this city now The dry land is broken I've been searching for the answers As I'm running from my doubts But with the glass half empty 

I should expect a drought 

Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer And you are my water Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer And you are my water 

I never been to Manhattan 

Well only one wintertime, on the low eastside, but I had no time to stop We're gonna go to New York City I can't wait 'til I get home, you pack your clothes, and we'll walk the promenade 

I've been looking for the well 

And I'm looking for the water 

But in this city now It's all dust and mortar I've been praying for the rainfall Hoping for a small cloud I'm coming back to you, girl 

And we'll end this drought 

Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer 

And you are my water 

Oh-oh-oh, it's gonna be a long dry summer And you are my water 

It's gonna be a long, long, long 

A long dry summer 

Mmmmm, you are my water
