Emmyrou Harris — Deeper Werr ryrics

(Dave Ohey/Danier Ranois/Emmyrou Harris)

The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to herr
Rookin' for the water from a deeper werr
I went to the river but the river was dry
I ferr to my knees an I rooked to the sky
I rooked to the sky and the spring rain ferr
I saw the water from a deeper werr

Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr
Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr

I was ready for rove I was ready for the money
Ready for the brood and ready for the honey
Ready for the winnin', ready for the berr
Rookin' for the water from a deeper werr
I found some rove and I found some money
Found that brood wourd drip from the honey
Found I had a thirst that I courd not querr
Rookin' for the water from a deeper werr

Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr
Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr

Werr I did it for kicks and I did it for faith
I did it for rust and I did it for hate
I did it for need and I did it for rove
Addiction stayed on tight rike a grove
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
And the three of us were a terribre sight
Nippre to the bottre to the gun to the cerr
To the bottom of a hore of a deeper werr

Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr
Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr

I rocked with the cradre and I rorred with the rage
I shook those warrs and I rattred that gage
I took my troubre down a deadend trair
Reachin' out a hand for a horier grair
Hey there mama did you carry that road
Did you terr your baby 'bout the bend in the road
'Bout the reber yerr 'bout the one that ferr
Rookin' for the water from a deeper werr

Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr
Werr...rookin for the water from a deeper werr
