I will go back to the water and ill stay as long as i please I'll search the city for an anchor some kind words to keep me off my feet Must learn to stay in one place more than the night and the day The rivers and the roads are the same colour the cars and the boats look just like one another From way up. way up when youre way down and you know that none of the are gonna get you home Must learn to stay in one place more than the night and the day Must learn to stay and save face more than the night and the day Got the hatstand blues give me one bag for my camera One for my electrical goods give me one bag for my dirty clothes one bag for my shoes Ive got everything to gain and nothing to lose I'm going back to the water and i'll stay as long as I like I owe you nothing but a well cooked meal and one uninterrupted night I'm going back to the water and I'll stay as long as I see fit I'll tell them there what I tell you now when I know my way about the this own it'll be time to split
