I stand, I stood, I'm standin'
but it ain't doin' me no good
I wait here on this agate road
while the robbers ask me where it goes

I suppose I can tell you where it goes
goes to the king, but the king is dead
black flies are buzzin' round his head

I've been here so long staring at the stone
I can't remember how to get home
swim in the river, dive in the well
I don't wanna go to heaven
but I will go to the water
or in the waterway
I will find it: what a glorious day

I swim, I swam, I'm swimmin'
and I love who I am
because I'm in the water
in the waterway,
and I have found it: what a glorious day

I'm in the water
in the waterway
