Letras de Canteen of Water

He carries his ideas
In books bound in leather
And a change of clothing
And a picture of Anna when she was younger
Lest he forget her

And in among his papers
Is a list of all the people that he knew
And many unsent letters
Telling someone that he′d be there sometime soon

Hey stranger
Aren't you the tiredness that remains
When you think freedom can′t be measured
By the scuffles on your boots

Now he dreams a lot of Anna
In the time they were together
He was hard and she was supple
When they lived out in the country
She thought gentle
Like his hands upon her body
How when Anna felt the cooling wind
David felt the need to be blown down
And when Anna felt the cleansing rain
David fought the fear that he might drown

Hey stranger
And now you wander through the country
That you hope is much less frightening
When it's quicker passing by

Now in southern Arizona
At the Last Chance Diner counter
Being questioned by the waitress
He prepares for the desert
With his freedom
And a canteen of water
