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 older

As 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

And never needed anyone but you

Instrumental (Harmonica)

We moved to the city

I said I wouldn't minds

Thought you'd stay inside me

It's easy when you're 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

Oh, to be wise again

Get back to your lazy waters

Never needed anyone but you

Oh, to be wise again

Get back to your lazy waters

Never needed anyone but you
