LYRICS:
Two traveled off into thick of wood, tools in hand, the drought made us weak
You, thirty years, and I, still young, sat along the old dusty creek
Oh sweet sound of water rushing
Irrigation
Oh sweet sound of water flowing
Celebration
Oh sweet sound of life
Come on home, come on home, the water’s good and we’re doing fine
They gave us life, they gave us our lives to live
Oh sweet sound of water rushing, oh sweet sound of water flowing, oh sweet sound of life
Two traveled off but they’d not return, not again be seen, their tools floated home
Floated home
