.In every myth something human speaks, it’s characters are interchangeable, what’s essential is the underlying truth regardless of cultural or theological details —Roshi Bob
She saw him there, there was no doubt
about the knowing look in his eye,
she’d come to draw water
because her bucket was dry
He asked her then for a taste
but she turned the question away
She said, You know we’re different.
He said, That’s really ok
And if you only knew who was talking to you
and what your father provides,
you’d turn to me for a drink of this water
that’s gonna fill up every valley
and flood the desert inside
But, she said, you’ve no bucket
and this well is so deep
He said, No, the water I give you
will wake the dead from their sleep
Now why don’t you go get your husband
and bring him back here with you
She said, I really don’t have one
He said, we both know that’s true
Though you’ve had many lovers
you’ve never been true to one
Then she fell back in wonder,
how he could know what she’d done
And if you only knew who was talking to you
and what your father provides,
you’d turn to me for a drink of this water
that’s gonna fill up every valley
and flood the desert inside
Then she ran to the city
and told the loneliest there
there’s someone who knows me
and yet he still cares
And if we only knew who was asking us to
believe that there’s nowhere to hide
we’d turn around for a drink of that water
that’s gonna fill up every valley
and flood the desert inside
Yeah, if we only knew who was asking us to
believe that there’s nowhere to hide
we’d turn around for a drink of that water
that’s gonna fill up every valley
and flood the desert inside
