Floating on the Lehigh

If I just left for a while

Dead dusk, a dive in the cold

Floating on the Lehigh

Floating off the river

Floating on to Bethlehem

Innocent pin up and bow

Whispers dragging me down

Brother, breathe easy now

Nothing's taking over you

The kids can all crowd around

The candles on the mantle wave kind regards

Regards, regards, regards

But I know for all we've done

I'd never have guessed we'd end things here

Floating on the Lehigh

Carry me to rest now

Floating on to Bethlehem

And in the night

We'll all lay down

And we'll let it go

Forever, and never allow for a second try

And my, what a quiet land

And oh, what a quiet man would try to break it

It happens to be my specialty

But why, why, oh why

Why do you insist on leaving this all to the end

I'll never know
