And you may find yourself Living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself In another part of the world And you may find yourself Behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself In a beautiful house With a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself Well, how did I get here
Chorus: Letting the days go by Let the water hold me down Letting the days go by Water flowing underground Into the blue again After the money's gone Once in a lifetime Water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself How do I work this And you may ask yourself Where is that large automobile And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful house And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful wife
Chorus
Same as it ever was (8 x)
Water dissolving and water removing There is water at the bottom of the ocean Under the water, carry the water Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Letting the days go by Let the water hold me down Letting the days go by Water flowing underground Into the blue again In the silent water Under the rocks and stones There is water underground
Chorus
And you may ask yourself What is that beautiful house And you may ask yourself Where does that highway go And you may ask yourself Am I right Am I wrong And you may tell yourself My God, what have I done
Letting the days go by Let the water hold me down Letting the days go by Water flowing underground Into the blue again In the silent water Under the rocks and stones There is water underground
Chorus
Same as it ever was (repeat and fade)
