The tide is lappin' at the rocks on the shore
And it makes 'em so happy to know
That it's gonna be lappin' up tomorrow night
Just like it did on the day before

Refrain:
I guess I must be flyin' again
'Cause all I can see is sky
I guess I must be flyin' again
'Cause all I can see is the sky

Well I ate up all the fire in the fine autumn leaves
'Til I faded and fell to the ground
And I guess I must be flyin' again
'Cause everywhere I look is down
I've been ridin' the compass needle
And I'm slidin' down the poles--
I'm just tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', tumblin'
Down the roads
I'm just tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', tumblin'
Down the roads

Well the weeds in the sea are floatin' in and out
And the Fish don't know an up from a down
And I've been floatin' such a long, long time
I wouldn't know me if I turned around
(Refrain)
