The Byrds - Lazy Waters lyrics

rate me

Written by 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 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
