Yeah, well I went down walking 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

Well a fish with ugly eyes jumped into my hands
Oh, it was no surprise I was beggin’ again
I seem to only want them before they put the coins in my tin
Yeah, but I’ve been known to wander by the waters every now and again

Yeah but my teacher's always said 'You’re gonna get hurt
Them girls are known to shove, they'll push you in dirt'
Well I don’t think I’ll listen though, I kind of like the way that it burns

Yeah but my only spot of refuge is a stream in the town
Well, the river gives a feelin’ that your sorrows can drown
Well I jump into the water where the fishes and the minnows can swim

Yeah, But I’ve been known to wander by the waters every now and again
Yeah, I’ve been known to wander by the waters every now and again
Yeah, I’ve been known to wander
By the waters
Every now and again

Well, sometimes I feel like I am dying
Yeah, I need, oh, someone to revive me
Yeah, over by the waters, that’s where she can find me
Yeah, over by the waters, that’s where, oh, she can, oh, find me
Yeah, she can find me
Yeah, that's where she can find, oh, me
Well, that's where she can, oh, fi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ind me
