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
