So Much Water Moving

The Mississippi River ~ Minneapolis, Minnesota

Wasted on the Way
Words & music by Graham Nash
Sung by Crosby, Stills & Nash

Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way
It used to be

I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started
Long before I did

And there's so much time to make up
Everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way

So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away

Oh when you were young
Did you question all the answers
Did you envy all the dancers
Who had all the nerve

Look round you now
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did
and got what they deserved

And there's so much time to make up
Everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way

So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away

And there's so much love to make up
Everywhere you turn
Love we have wasted on the way

So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away

Let the water come and carry us away

    Well baby, there you stand
    With your little head, down in your hand
    Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
    Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
    And it looks like the end

    And you're back out on the street
    And you're tryin' to remember
    How do you start it over
    You don't know if you can
    You don't care much for a stranger's touch
    But you can't hold your man

    You never thought you'd be alone
    This far down the line
    And I know what's been on your mind
    You're afraid it's all been wasted time

    The autumn leaves have got you thinking
    About the first time that you fell
    You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
    You just loved the boy to well, farewell

    So you live day to day
    And you dream about tomorrow, oh
    And the hours go by like minutes
    And the shadows come to stay
    So you take a little something
    To make them go away
    I could have done so many things, baby
    If I could only stop my mind
    From wonderin' what I left behind
    And from worrying 'bout this wasted time

    Ooh, another love has come and gone
    Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
    I remember what you told me before you went out on your own
    Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone

    So you can get on with your search, baby
    And I can get on with mine
    And maybe someday we will find
    That it wasn't really wasted time
    Mmm, hmm mm
    Oh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, mmm mmm
