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
