The Waters

Yeah, well, I went down a-walkin' by the waters today
Something on my mind would not go away
Yeah, that cute girl from the book store that didn't even know my name
Oh but a fish with ugly eyes jumped into my hands
Yeah, was no surprise I was beggin' again
Yeah I seem to only want them before they put the coins in my tin
Ooo, But I've been known to wander by the waters every now and again
Yeah, well my teachers always said "Boy, you're going to get hurt
Yeah, them girls been known to shove, they'll push you in dirt"
Well I don't think I'll listen though kind of like the way that it burns
Yeah, but my only spot of refuge is a stream in the town
Yeah the rhythm gives a feelin' that your sorrows can drown
Well, I jump into the water where the fishes and the minnows can swim
Yeah, I've been known to wander, oh, by the waters, oh every now and again, ooo
Yeah, you know sometimes I feel like I am dyin'
Ooo, I need, oh, someone to revive me
Yeah over by the waters that's where she can find me
Yeah, over by the waters, yeah, that's where she can find me
Yeah, over by the waters, oh
Yeah, that's where she can find me
Yeah, that's where she can find me
Yeah, that's where she can find me, ooo
Ooo
