Idle by the Waters... (Cover) (Remastered)

[Intro] Idle by the waters of the Cher laid bare, Sun-burnt days have stripped the river Thinking of my closest friends out there, Who hit the dawn while I kept drifting in my lair. [Verse 1] A scourge tore through the social game, A wild beast loose, no mercy in its claim. Each nation paled before that creeping flame; Folks called in sick before their bosses called their name. [Chorus] Idle by the waters of the Cher laid bare, Sun-burnt days have stripped the river Thinking of my closest friends out there, Who hit the dawn while I kept drifting in my lair. [Verse 2] A paradox, but it makes sense in this fight, Against a Leviathan swallowing the light. They're also hit by this job-stealing bite, That makes them shout: 'I'm out of work—no end in sight!' [Chorus] Idle by the waters of the Cher laid bare, Sun-burnt days have stripped the river Thinking of my closest friends out there, Who hit the dawn while I kept drifting in my lair. [Bridge] Thinking of my closest friends out there, Who hit the dawn while I stayed slow and spare. Their workday calls while shadows fill the air, And I walk free—no boss, no burden I must bear. [Outro] My solitude ran deep, but felt okay, I watched the river mutter through the day. The world leaned low while I took back my day— I stepped through time… with hours finally mine to play. [Humming]
