Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"The Waters Of Forgetfulness" lyrics


Born on the wind, cooled by the rainLost in a dream, no memory remainsUnder the clouds, far from the sunTied to a wheel, since time has begun.
And we sleep the live long nightAs part of the river we suffer together so far from the lightAnd we gaze the live long dayInto the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.
Tossed on the sea, still in a dreamLooks like a war, it's not what it seemsRuled by the moon, pulled by the tideNowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
And we sleep the live long nightAs part of the river we suffer together so far from the lightAnd we gaze the live long dayInto the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.
And we sleep the live long nightAs part of the river we suffer together so far from the lightAnd we gaze the live long dayInto the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.
