Long lives the dark night of the soul
Long lives the heart denied of love and control
There must be reasons for this hunger and this pain
I'm just a simple man --- will someone please explain?

If I drink of the water
That was changed into wine
If I eat of the manna
That became the bread of life
Will a miracle save me in time?

Who will deliver me to hope?
I'm in the river at the end of my rope
There's something clawing me from deep down below
There's something gnawing and it's leaving a hole

If I drink of the water, etc.

If I raise my eyes to heaven
If I bow my weary head
Will it save me from a life of hell
Among the walking dead?

(drink of the, drink of the, drink of the water....)

If I drink of the water
That was changed into wine
If I eat of the manna
Will the miracle be mine?
If I drink of the water
Will my heart be purified?
If I kneel down at the altar
Will I find my peace of mind?

If I lie down here beside you
Will I flounder, will I drown
Or will you fish me from the sea of love
And then cast me to the ground?
I am lost ---- will I ever be found?

If I drink of the water
If I drink of the water
Will it save me....in time?
