The current is strong from what I've heard

It'll wisk you down the stream

But there never seems to be much time



My toes just touched the water

My toes just touched 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

My toes just touched the water

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



The spoiled sun up over there

It always has to have its way

And I know that the river's there to shelter me



My toes just touched the water

My toes just touched the water
