Waters Flowin'

(album: Living The Dream - 2018)

I walked down to the Quay at midnight to watch the waters flowing
Saw a shadow playing there, his audience was growing
He sang to all the young girls there about a deeper yearning
And all the eyes and all the ears could feel his passion burning

And the people would come from miles around
Just to listen to his sweet sound
It was every time just about midnight
Down by the waters flowing

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowing

Then one night as I was walking I felt a sense of fear
The deep dark water seemed to say "There's nothing for you here"
Then I thought that I saw something that chilled me to the bone
But harbour lights play tricks on eyes, I turned and headed home

And the people would come from miles around
Just to listen to his sweet sound
It was every time just about midnight
Down by the waters flowing

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowing

No one ever saw the man or heard him play again
So sad to hear that he had gone
Then one day upon the sand they found his old guitar
But would it ever play that sweet song again?

And the people would come from miles around
Just to listen to his sweet sound
It was every time just about midnight
Down by the waters flowing

And the people would come from miles around
Just to listen to his sweet sound
But the only song that guitar would play
Was down by the waters flowing

Down by the waters flowing
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowing
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Down by the waters flowing
Down by the waters flowing
