Rob Slocum - He Trailed His Hand in The Water Lyrics

In the early morning on the lake, sitting in the stern of the boat
He trailed his hand in the water
With his father rowing, he felt quite sure
That he would never die

What if you couldn't turn around? You have back up to proceed
Seeing only the past. That's all that anyone can know
You can't change a thing. All you can do is proofread
Ripples on the surface. Row, row, row

Try not to worry. It never got anybody anywhere
The future is in no hurry to satisfy your cares
Look back, look back instead. Heartbeats of recognition
Ripples on the surface. Row, row, row

We all suffer, but we don't all grow
You contain all you need to be happy
Maybe you can love remembering as much as you love living
Ripples on the surface. Row, row, row

You never remember how a thing felt if you talk about it too much
You remember the talk and not the thing
But maybe-maybe you're supposed to improve on it
Maybe you're supposed to sing
