Cool, Clear Water Lyrics

Bonnie Raitt Cool, Clear Water

I want to feel my earth turn over, baby
In this hardened winter ground
Feel my earth turn over, darlin'
Until' I'm rootless and unbound

I want to feel my body tremble
When there's no one else around
Just this cool, clear water runnin'
In this love that I've found

Hey, baby
See how it can be
Every time you reveal yourself to me
I'll come runnin'

I want to feel myself go under, baby
Where the deepest river bleeds
I want to feel it pull me under, darlin'
Until it drops me to my knees

I want to know that I could find you
When there's no more eyes to see
In this cool, clear water runnin'
You'll come runnin' to me

Hey, baby
All my life I have known there's something more
Love to blind me like the sun
Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
Now I know that you're the one

And when I feel my baby callin'
It's like a whisper in a sand
When the softest rain is fallin', darlin'
I will crumble in your hand

And when all that's left is wonder
And no need to understand
Well, this cool, clear water runnin'
Will be all that I am

Hey, baby
Will be all that I am
All that I am
