Lazy Waters Lyrics - Farther Along - The Byrds

(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
