Misty Water Lyrics

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...
