Thinking bout' the water for a sign,
waiting for the moment to arise.
I now that no man could ever fly,
just lay me on the water.

colors paint great pictures in my dreams,
shinning of the rust that I have seen.
but I dont need to show them to the world,
just lay me on the water.

And the water is calm,
I'll just float.
and if its rough, and high,
I'll pretend that im a boat.
lay me on the water.

oh candy seems to roll off of my tounge,
I view all good citizens as one.
but I don't feel like leading some campaign,
just lay me on the water.

And the water is calm,
I'll just float.
and if its rough, and high,
I'll pretend that im a boat.
lay me on the water.

A gentle on the wing where I want to be
listen to the breeze flow
lay me on the water

And the water is calm,
I'll just float.
and if its rough, and high,
I'll pretend that im a boat.
lay me on the water.

Lay me on the water,
lay me on the water,
lay me on the water,
lay me on the water.
