Lyrics
Don't Go Lookin'
(words and music by Edward Davis)
I loved the sunlight sparkling on the water
Lying there beside that old swimming pool.
But it was a long time ago, and I was just a fool.
I thought that you loved me, and I thought I loved you too.
But looking back, all that I can see, is the sunlight
Sparkling on the water
Lying there beside that old swimming pool.
CHORUS; Don't go lookin'
If you don't like dirty pictures,
If you don't like broken fixtures,
If you can't stand the sickening mixture
Of these memories
Then don't go looking.
Reflections of the sunlight split the shadows of my mind
Take me back beside that old swimming pool.
The old bunch is all together laughing and staying cool.
Forever like a dream, That's how it seems to me.
But opening up my eyes, all that I can see, is the sunlight
Sparkling on the water, lying there beside
That old swimming pool.
CHORUS
A friend took me back there, so I could take one last look,
And I stood right beside that old swimming pool.
They say you can't go back, but I was just a fool.
Cracked and crumbling, full of dirt, choking on the hurt,
But looking back all that I could see, was the sunlight
Sparkling on the water, lying there beside
That old swimming pool.
CHORUS
