Agua - Manhattan Transfer

Here beneath the moon tonight

So pale and fragile

Is that shining in the distance I see

Real or just imagined?

Imagined mirages of agua

Somewhere in these sands that spread before me

There lies a silent spring for me

Que agua

The earth without the heavens' rain

Becomes powder and gravel

Life without a spirit whole

In time becomes a thread unraveled

Or traveled in the circles of agua

And lately there grows a thirst inside me

With only hunger to guide me

Que agua

Agua ever deep

Agua ever wide

Agua ever still and silent

Flowing into sleep finding what we hide

Dreaming what cannot be sighted

Agua ever warm

Current ever strong

Agua ever, ever lasting

Gathering in storm

Pouring out in song

Washing over understanding

Agua

Agua deep

Agua so wide

Carry me to your shore

Carry me agua

Agua

Agua deep

Agua so wide

Carry me to your shore

Carry me agua
