I thought about water I thought about the roads late at night I thought about drinking I started to hope you were all right And i thought about calling But i was afraid you'd be asleep I thought about god as a shepherd Wandering the hills looking for lost sheep And i thought about wild rosemarie How that was who you used to be How the wilderness sprang up around us This dry desert heat And i thought about water I thought about honey How i used to call you by its name How you move so slow and sticky Down my throat and how dry i became I thought about the highways All tangled up like a ball of snakes And the poison backroads And what a long time it would take to find you Wild rosemarie All cracked up on i-93 The choice was your own To strip flesh from the bone And become really free And i thought about water How it drowned us after all How we used to thirst for it To burst forth from the sky and start to fall And i just got scared That you were still out wandering tonight So here's this letter And i hope you made it back all right Love always.
