The Waters Of Forgetfulness - Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty was a Scottish singer-songwriter best known for his solo hits "Baker Street", "Right Down the Line" and "Night Owl", as well as "Stuck in the Middle with You" recorded with the band Stealers Wheel.

Born on the wind, cooled by the rain Lost in a dream, no memory remains Under the clouds, far from the sun Tied to a wheel, since time has begun. And we sleep the live long night As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light And we gaze the live long day Into the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah. Tossed on the sea, still in a dream Looks like a war, it's not what it seems Ruled by the moon, pulled by the tide Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. And we sleep the live long night As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light And we gaze the live long day Into the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah. And we sleep the live long night As part of the river we suffer together so far from the light And we gaze the live long day Into the waters of forgetfulness, yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah yeah.
