(Lee Alexander & Norah Jones) The current is strong from what I've heard It'll wisk you down the stream But there never seems to be much time My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Daydreamed on the bank again I was swimming with the fish And I thought this time that it may be true (But) My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move The spoiled sun up over there It always has to have its way And I know that the river's there to shelter me My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water
