Down by the Riverside, well there's a place for me
Where I won't sit and think about where I'd rather be
and I don't need nothing
but the look on my face
It's all bullshit
It's just the time it takes between
where it comes and where it
You can go swimming, no sign of rainstorms or
thunder I won't be joining you
because today between the time it's taking
me to wonder I just might get sucked under

Down by the ocean, it's all behind me it's just an open sea,
and I can really see for miles
I wish I knew just what I was looking for
A pool of endless rhymes, I ain't talking 'bout the water
We're talking time, where it comes and where it yeah
You can go swimming, there's been no warning of hurricane
or tidal wave, ain't no dangerous fish out there
I won't be joining you still
It's just a feeling in me I get washed out to the sea
Yeah the sea
fooling around with , ,
D D Am Am(stop) Am7 and Amsus2 sounds nice if you're
playing alone (i.e. without band)
I wish I could go 'cause you know
that the water doesn't usually frighten me so
It's not the depth of the sea that infatuates me
It's what remains to be seen, like the time in between
where it comes and where it goes
where it goes yeah
Down in a creekbed in my old neighbourhood
there is a trickle that's dirty and warm
and I have spend many a childhood hour there
It's where I used to play, seems like yesterday
But I was younger then, just make believing
making wishes and tossing pennies in
and now I've grown, haven't changed my tone,
just getting stoned and ain't pretending that I know
You can go swimming though it's only a trickle there
and the floodgates haven't worked for years
I won't be joining you, no, I wish I could go
but I
and I
You can go swimming
