Misty Water

Ray Davies, released on The Great Lost Kinks Album, © unknown 1973

.

By the town of Straight and Narrow,

There's a dark and misty place.

Everything is hazy,

So the people are afraid.

.

All except Maria's daughters,

Who believe in misty ways.

Everything is lovely,

In a misty morning glaze.

.

I like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters,

They like misty water.

.

I like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters,

Take a sip of misty water.

.

Though Maria is not lovely,

She's the lady of my dreams.

'Cause I see my lady,

Through a misty, silky screen.

.

And in seeing is believing,

But I can't believe my eyes.

Everything is lovely,

In a misty paradise.

.

I like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters,

They like misty water.

.

They like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters,

Take a sip of misty water.

.

I like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters,

They like misty water.

.

They like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters,

They like misty water.

.

I like misty water,

I like fog and haze.

Anne Maria and her daughters...

.
