Lyrics:

Every time I’m away from Liza
Water come to me eye
Every time I’m away from Liza
Water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye


I remember when love was new
Water come to me eye
There was one but now there’s two
Water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye


When the evening starts to fall
Water come to me eye
I need to hear my Liza’s call
Water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye


Standing there in the market place
Water come to me eye
Soon I’ll feel her warm embrace
Water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye


In the shadow I stand awhile
Water come to me eye
Soon I’ll see my Liza’s smile
Water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye


Every time I’m away from Liza
Water come to me eye
Every time I’m away from Liza
Water come to me eye
