Shed your oversize clothes Feel the dirt between your toes And walk to the river, my boy Be not a man, with your head in your hands But a boy by the river once more I'm taking the nights, and leaving the days Because sometimes the light's just too tame Be not a man, with your head in your hands But a boy by the river once more We had plans, there's no need to forget them We're still playing in time Be not a man, with your head in your hands But a boy by the river once more Burn your worries and shoot for the stars Just don't anchor your spirit or deafen your heart Because some ships will sail forever and ever And ever and ever to roam Shed your oversize clothes Feel the dirt between your toes And walk to the river, my boy Be not a man, with your head in your hands But a boy by the river once more But a boy by the river once more But a boy by the river once more
