Shy Water

Don't be afraid to swim out of shy waters... Bite your tongue it is better unsaid some days it don't pay to get out of bed Brew your coffee with a cup of tears everything out of reach for fears Don't dive in the deep end you may drown just sitting around smiling like a clown Life passes by while your hitching a ride thumb stays up but life drives on by She smiles at you but you look away wondering why lonely you stay Sleep walking through life to get by there are no wins if you never try Your thirst for love but the water is shy you always rush in at low tide A little confidence goes a long way swim don't sink have fun and play Love is around be young don't dodder Nothing so sweet as drinking away shy water.
