Big Thirst - Jim Capaldi, Steve Winwood, Paul Kossoff

Everybody’s standing in a lake, crying out for the rain

Hoping for a miracle to drive away the pain

And some are heavy with a thirst which burns their very soul

For no one sees direction when they’re standing in a hole

Big thirst on my head, oh Lord

Big thirst in my mouth

But I can see those green fields

Stretchin' to the South

Some are walking in their graves, knowing it’s no use

Beaten up for ignorance and treated with abuse

Oh God, I need your hand so bad, help me to get through

'Cause I know there’s a place for me standing next to you

Big thirst on my head, oh Lord

Big thirst in my mouth

I can see those green fields

Stretchin' to the South

Everybody’s looking up at the sky, waiting for a sign

Blind men leading blind men who’re dragging on a line

People shooting at the sun, trying hard not to see

All the trouble in this world that’s caused by you and me

Big thirst on my head, oh Lord

Big thirst in my mouth

I can see those green fields

Stretchin' to the South

Oh big thirst on my head, Lord

Big thirst in my mouth

I can see those green fields

Stretchin' to the South
