I, well, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing will keep us together
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
What'd you say?
If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh, no, baby, please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh, no, baby, please don't go
Ooh, girl, I just want you to stay
They've forgotten all about God
He's the only reason we exist
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird
All those years ago
You said it all though not many had ears
All those years ago
You had control of our smiles and our tears
All those years ago
On the lake where drooped the willow
Long time ago
Where the rock threw back the billow
Brighter than snow
Dwelt a maid beloved and cherished
By high and low
But with autumn leaf she perished
Long time ago
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
Smokin' in the boys room
We're smokin' in the boys room
Nah, teacher don't you fill me up with your rule
'Cause everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
