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. .
