We walked the last black dog across the field
We saw the dirt they moved beside the hill
Our boys were young when we first came here
The sands of time they don't stand still
Had a list of dreams as long as my arm
The summer lost, the river gone
Guess I'm just waitin' for the light of dawn
Some were beaten back by the storm
Little water, little rain,
They took the trees down
There's so much change
Guess we pray, and then we wait
For the water to fill this lake
He was a gift in a time of hard need
He was big and he was sometimes mean
And solitary as the old pine tree
He was devoted to you and me
You held his head as he lay on the cold concrete.
We had no choice, I have to leave.
Grateful it was you and not me
As he went to sleep on that cold concrete.
One, two, three
Little water, little rain,
They took the trees down
There's so much change
Guess we pray, and then we wait
For the water to fill this lake
Never knew I'd be out on the road
We first came here all those years ago
Hands on the wheel, I'm thinkin' of home
And all the little things I couldn't keep from goin' wrong
It's a life, but who's to say
We could've done things any other way
We'd always dreamed we'd have a lake
There's always some kind of price to pay
One, two, three
Little water, little rain,
They took the trees down
There's so much change
Guess we pray, and then we wait
For the water to fill this lake
For the water
