Strum
D-DU-UDU
Thinking  'bout the water for a sign
Waiting  for the moment to arise
 I know that no man could ever fly
Just  lay me on  the water
Colors  paint great pictures in my dreams
Shining  off the rust that I have seen
But  I don't need to show them to the  world
Just  lay me on  the water
 If the water is calm
I'll  just float
 If it's rough  and high
 I'll pretend  that I'm a boat
Lay me  on the water
 Oh candy  seems to roll off of my tongue
 I view  all good citizens as  one
But  I don't feel like leading some campaign
Just  lay  me on the water
 If the water is calm
I'll  just float
 If it's rough  and hiiigh
 I'll pretend  that I'm a boat
Lay me  on the water
 Oh  gentle on the  wing
 Where I  waaant to be
Listen  to the breeze bloooow
Lay me  on the water
 If the water is calm
I'll  just float
 If it's rough  and high
 I'll pretend  that I'm a boat
Lay  me on the water
 Lay me on the water
 Lay me on the water
 Lay me on the water
Lay  me ooon the water
