| I walked back down the river bend road
|
| Gathered up a couple good stones
|
| Down to the water, went looking for a load
|
| Wasn’t very far from home
|
| I saw my face at the water’s edge
|
| The man with the heavy heart
|
| Every now and then he feels so close
|
| But every now and then so far, tell me
|
| Where did the young man go?
|
| The one in the water that I used to know
|
| When did he lose that fire?
|
| Did he just grow old, did he just grow tired?
|
| The face I saw was a younger man
|
| A little more sure of his ways
|
| Blissful fool didn’t understand
|
| Hadn’t seen enough in his day
|
| Ten years' time and a wiser mind
|
| It’s seems his world has changed
|
| Knowing somehow what I didn’t know then
|
| Would I still have done it the same? |
| Tell me
|
| Where did the young man go?
|
| The one in the water that I used to know
|
| When did he lose that fire?
|
| Did he just grow old, did he just grow tired?
|
| There was a time that it came easy for a while
|
| I know it couldn’t have be that long ago
|
| Where did the young man go?
|
| The one in the water that I used to know
|
| When did he lose that fire?
|
| Did he just grow old, did he just grow tired?
|
| Where did the young man go?
|
| The one in the water that I used to know
|
| When did he lose that fire?
|
| Did he just grow old, did he just grow tired?
