LAZY WATERS

WHEN I WAS YOUNG,

I WOULD GO DOWN BY A RIVER,

JUST ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOME,

A MILLION MILES FROM EVERYONE.

MY EYES COULD SEE YOUR WATERS,

MY EARS COULD HEAR YOUR SONG.

OH TO BE WISE AGAIN,

TO GET BACK TO YOUR LAZY WATERS,

I NEVER NEEDED ANYONE BUT YOU.

LITTLE BOYS ARE STRANGE,

NO ONE KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE MAGIC.

I KEPT IT IN MY POCKET,

CONCEALED FROM EVERYONE.

BUT I’D CLIMB THE HIGHEST TREE

TO SING A BIRD MY SONG...

WE MOVED TO THE CITY,

I SAID I DIDN’T MIND,

I THOUGHT YOU’D STAY INSIDE ME,

IT’S EASY WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG.

BUT AS WE RODE AWAY

I KNEW THAT YOU WERE GONE...
