Kishore Kumar Hits — The Boxcars - Let the Water Wash over Me lyrics

Artist: The Boxcars

album: Familiar With the Ground

On days like today
My thoughts drift away
To time spent on Caney Creek.
By day fishin' poles,
And deep swimmin' holes.
At night
We'd play hide and seek.
Memories fade
And soon go away.
Like the gray
That my hair has turned
But one has remained.
And with all it's pain,
Each night
In my mind it burns.
Sing sing me a song
With an old melody.
Take take me back home.
Let the water
Wash over me.
A sweet little girl
With pretty blonde curls.
She was mommy's great joy.
And she worshipped me.
Cuz' I was 13
Mommy and daddy's big boy.
By the pale moonlight,
I snuck out one night.
And walked down to old Caney Creek.
But I didn't see
That she followed me,
As I went
To the water so deep.
Tonight I weep on old Caney Creek.
And stand here a broken old man.
In the water so clear I offer a tear,
Where her fingers slipped from my hand.
Sing sing me a song
With an old melody.
Take take me back home.
Let the water
Wash over me.
