down in the draw
once this water ran so blue
now i’m down in the draw with you
once this true love flowed and flowed
now you say you don’t know
love’s like that water
it just floats away
down in the draw with you today
little froggie jumped so high
then his lungs went bad and froggie died
sizzlin’ now on the river floor
little frog won’t jump no more
love’s like that frog
jumps from red to blue
now i’m down in the draw with you
pretty little flowers – green and red
got no water now they’re dead
them flowers bloomed on the river shore
drought came about – now they don’t bloom no more
love’s like that drought
man, your throat gets dry
down in the draw – you and i
wilted flowers, wilted dreams
we’ll never leave the draw it seems
ever wonder how that river went dry
did something happen or was it just time
maybe too much sun – not enough rain
or a lack of faith that made it drain
whatever it was – makes me cry
now we’re down in the draw – lookin’ up at the sky
