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
