Toes

Norah Jones

The current is strong from what I've heard

I'll whisk you down the stream

But I never seem to have the time

So my toes just touch the water

So my toes just touch 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

But my toes just touched the water

But 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



That spoiled sun up over there

Always has to have its way

And I know that the river's there to shelter me

But my toes just touch the water

But my toes just touch the water

But my toes just touch the water
