Floating on the Lehigh - Department Of Eagles

If I just left for a while

Dead dusk, a dive in the cold

Floating on the Lehigh

Floating off the river

Floating on to Bethleham

Innocent pin up and bow

Whispers dragging me down

Brother, breathe easy now

Nothing’s taking over you

The kids can all crowd around

The candles on the mantle wave kind regards,

regards, regards, regards

But I know for all we’ve done

I’d never had guessed we did this for years

Floating on the Lehigh

Carry me to rest now

Floating on to Bethleham

And in the night

We’ll all lay down

And we’ll let it go

Forever, and never allowed for second tries

And my, what a quiet land

And oh, what a quiet man would try to break it,

It happens to be my specialty

And why, why, oh why

Why you insist on leavin' this all to the end,

I’ll never know
