[Verse 1] Mud on my boots again You said meet me by the bend A dock made of cedar boards And your laugh in the reeds [Verse 2] The cypress leans like it knows Every word I left untold Your name rides out on the wind Soft as a screen door swing [Pre-Chorus] Come on down Past the moss and cane Come on down Say my name again [Chorus] Bayou, bayou Pull me back to you Bayou, bayou I got nothing to prove Bayou, bayou Let the night come through Bayou, bayou I’ll be lost with you [Verse 3] Old tin boat at the bank Half full of rain and time You trace circles in the black And I fall right in [Pre-Chorus] Come on down Where the lilies lie Come on down Under that bruise-dark sky [Chorus] Bayou, bayou Pull me back to you Bayou, bayou I got nothing to prove Bayou, bayou Let the night come through Bayou, bayou I’ll be lost with you [Bridge] If the road gets thin And the world goes cold Meet me where the water turns And the cattails fold [Final Chorus] Bayou, bayou Pull me back to you Bayou, bayou I got nothing to prove Bayou, bayou Let the night come through Bayou, bayou I’ll be lost with you
