Lazy Waters Lyrics

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
