Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

Cool, Clear Water Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
I want to feel my earth turn over,baby
In this hardened winter ground
Feel my earth turn over, darlin
Till Im rootless and unbound
I want to feel my body tremble
When theres no one else around
Just this cool, clear water runnin
In this love that Ive found
Hey baby
See how it can be
Every time you reveal yourself tome
Ill come runnin
I want to feel myself go under,baby
Where the deepest river bleeds
I want to feel it pull me under,darlin
Until it drops me to my knees
I want to know that I can findyou
When theres no more eyes tosee
In this cool, clear water runnin
Youll come runnin to me
Hey baby
All my life I have known theressomething more
A love to blind me like the sun
Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
Now I know that youre the one
When I feelmy babycallin
Its like awhisper inand whenthe softestrain is fallin, darlin
I will crumble in your hand
And when all thats left is wonder
And no need to understand
Well this cool, clear waterrunnin
Will be all that I am...
