Give me the quiet waters
Give me the back bay
Give me a good excuse to slip the strangled noose of a work day
Oh my soul is free no one to bother me on the back bay
Don't want your noisy engine
Don't want the wind in my hair
Give me an old canoe
A paddle light and true
They will take me
Where the Herron waits for the tide and fait to bring her dinner there

Give me the quiet wanter
Give me the back bay
I feel the need to ride the changes of the tide in the worst way
Oh I do believe I feel the river breath on the back bay
Oh you can keep the channel you've got places to go

The rive rushing by
Your living on the fly
I will take things slowly
I don't mind if I fall behind in the ebb and flow
We need that quiet water we need the back bay
A buffer from the storm
The place were life is born
Where the cat tails sway
The rives health is in the secret wealth of the back bay

Give me the quiet water
Rock me in the cradle of the back bay
We need that quiet water
Share it with the eagle and the osprey
Cherish the quiet water of the back bay
Give me the quiet water
We neet the quiet water of the back bay
Share it with the eagle and the osprey
Give me the quiet water
