Lyrics
DON'T GO IN THE WATER NOW
Saw you by the river
Footprints in the sand
The sea was in the air
The wind was in your hair
You seemed to have nowhere to go
You were walking slowly
You were looking down
I was paralyzed
As sand blew in my eyes
I looked again and you were gone
Don’t Go in the Water Now
Don’t go out to sea
The army’s at the border now, you oughta now come to me
On a soggy playground
Spotted I did four
Muddy places
Near the bases
Where the players often moor
You were on the see-saw
All alone up top
I couldn’t do a thing
I was on the swing
And I couldn’t make it stop
Don’t Go in the Water Now
Don’t go out to sea
The army’s at the border now, you oughta now come to me
Disobey the order now
Sleep through reveille
Don’t Go in the Water Now
You oughta now come to me
Come to me
