I heard you call me, waterwheel 
Spin 'round, 'round in a circle 
Gracing my child dreams on fantasy hill 
Spin 'round, 'round in a circle 

Flash, paddles sending a spray to the air 
Lately, my thoughts are still with you there 
As you spin 'round 
'Round in a boyhood daydream, spin 'round 

My thoughts are drifting to a quieter time 
Spin 'round, 'round in a circle 
Green covered slippery water-rocks I used to climb 
Spin 'round, 'round in a circle 

Father and child walking down by the canyon 
Lately, my thoughts are still with them there 
As they spin 'round 
'Round in a boyhood daydream, spin 'round 

Flash, paddles sending a spray to the air 
Lately, my thoughts are still with you there 
As you spin 'round 
'Round in a boyhood daydream, spin 'round
