Yeah well, I've been down and walking
By the waters today
Something on my mind would not go away
That cute girl in the bookstore
That didn't even know my name
Oh but a fish with ugly eyes

Jumped in my hands
Yeah, was no surprise
I was begging again
I seem to only want them before
They put the coins into my tin
Oh, but I've been known to wonder
By the waters every now and again

Well my teachers always said
"Boy, you're gonna get hurt"
The other girls been known to shove
You and push you into the dirt
Well I don't think I'll listen
I kinda like the way it burns

My only spot of refuge is a stream in the town
The river gives a feeling that
Your sorrows can drown
Well I jump into the water
Where the fishes
And the minnows can swim

Yeah I've been known to wonder
Oh, by the waters
Every now and again

Yeah, you know, sometimes
I feel like I am dying
Oh I need someone to revive me
Up and by the waters
That's where she can find me
Yeah, up and by the waters
That's where she can find me

Yeah, up and by the waters, oh
That's where she can find me
That's where she can find me
That's where you can find me
