Lazy Waters

When I was young I'd go down by the river

Just about a mile from my home

A million miles from everyone

My eyes could see your water



My ears could hear your song

Oh, to be wise again

Get back to your lazy waters

Never needed anyone but you



Oh, little boys are strange

No one knows they have magic

I kept it in my pocket

Concealed from everyone



But I climbed the highest tree

To sing a bird my song

Oh, to be wise again

Get back to your lazy waters

Never needed anyone but you



We moved to the city

I said I wouldn't mind

Thought you'd stay inside me

It's easy when your young



But as we rode away

I knew you were gone

Oh, to be wise again

Get back to your lazy waters

Never needed anyone but you
