lyrics

High, high above the water
Far, far from the city
Rowing, rowing the Susquehanna
Home, home's where I'll never be
Caught wandering in the minor key

My body, my body's a stick in the current
My arms, the oars from an old willow tree
My heart, the shallow's a branch could get stuck in
My song, the only thing that sets me free
Only thing permits me to wandering

I left, I left my own home up in Athens
I lett, when my love left me down on the shore
So I'll follow, I'll follow the Susquehanna
'Cause Athens, it isn't my home anymore
Say I'll start anew on the Chesapeake shore
