The current is strong from what I've heard I'll whisk you down the stream But I never seem to have the time So my toes just touch the water So my toes just touch the water Daydreamed on the bank again I was swimming with the fish And I thought this time that it may be true But my toes just touched the water But my toes just touched the water But my toes just touched the water Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin to move Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin to move That spoiled sun up over there Always has to have its way And I know that the river's there to shelter me But my toes just touch the water But my toes just touch the water But my toes just touch the water
