From a soft gentle rain
that fell to the ground
it ran away without a sound
and the grey flows to brown
and the brown flows to blue
but it all flows down like we do
You can throw a life in
you can pull a life out
some will float, some will drown
if I could say what I mean
I meant something worthwhile
jazz bayou goes on and on for miles
And one lonely leaf
floats slowly downstream
thick water swirls around like a dream
with nothing to waste
and nothing to hide
thought the water's not clear
it never lied
