Select language to translate this lyric
She carries the water from the well in the morning
While the sand burns her feet the sun only stares
And the loneliness lingers with slow grasping fingers
As the afternoon withers the flowers in her hair
Then night fills the sky as she sits on the hillside
And memories drift by like clouds past the stars
Recalling romances and all the bright chances
But none of them lasted, they passed through her heart
And she says
ââ¬Â½Where is a man who can build a good fire
With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon?
A man whose hand is strong as his longing
Where is the man who can lasso the moon?ââ¬Â
She falls asleep and her dreams are her blanket
And she shares with the moon the secret she knows
As the dawn leaves its tears to wash the dry valley
The tears of a woman can wash a man's soul
And she says
ââ¬Â½Where is a man who can build a good fire
With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon?
A man whose hand is strong as his longing
Where is the man who can lasso the moon?ââ¬Â
And she says
ââ¬Â½Where is a man who can build a good fire
With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon?
A man whose hand is strong as his longing
Where is the man who can lasso the moon?ââ¬Â
And I say
ââ¬Â½I am a man who can build a good fire
And my passion's as wide as the sky at high noon
Come take my hand, it's as strong as your longing
Just say the word and I'll lasso the moonââ¬Â
