(B. Rafkin) 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 BMI
