Bad Waters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let them search for us
We will not return for a while
Let them call our names
The wind will blow them back anyhow
It's oh so sweet
Your hair grown long oh shoulder long
It's oh so sweet out there
My back has turned strong
Can we hide here forever
Can we hide here forever babe
Look what we found
What we found is a wasteland
Can we stay here for all time darling
We left what we had
Across the bad waters
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look our old land has been replaced
We walked the dry fields, the dry fields
You're humming a song I've heard
A song I've once heard
I know the words
It's oh so sweet
But I'm telling you now
That we keep knocking on the wrong door
Oh let the wind blow
'Cause we can't go back
We must stay here forever
We must stay here forever babe
Look what we found
What we found our wasteland
Can we stay here for all time honey
We left what we had
Across the bad waters
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Oh what a waste
What a waste
Let's stay here forever babe
Let's stay here for all times honey
Let's stay here forever babe
Let's stay here for all times honey
Can we hide here forever babe
Look what we found
Can we stay here for all time darling
We left what we had
Across the bad waters
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look our old land has been replaced
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look our old land has been replaced
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We hide here forever babe
We stay here for all time darling...
