Water spider, desert flower,
They don't make them like you no more
Water spider, freedom fighter,
They don't make them like you no more
There's an island, it's in your eyes, love,
With a river too wide to cross
The water spider is skipping lighter
On a bridge that's denied to us
Water spider, desert flower,
They don't make them like you no more
Water spider, freedom fighter,
They don't make them like you no more
Jesus walked on water, but so did Marvin Gaye
And Harriet, didn't you hear ? They never caught her,
She just slipped away,
She skipped away
Water spider, desert flower,
They don't make them like you no more
Water spider, freedom fighter,
They don't make them like you no more
