THE BOAT SONG

​

What if we were in the same boat

Rolling on a green sea

Listening to the water

No ordered future

No sorted old, wet memories

 

What if time was not the issue

And we could just go on for days and days and days

Never need for, never miss you

Give you nothing more than a smile on your face

 

What if I had ten different reasons

To love you and to leave you, darlin’

Better than the you you were before

What if we were in the same boat

Only to keep on moving on

 

What if we had ten different reasons

To love upon and leave each other

Separate to head on for the shore

What if we were in the same boat

Only to keep moving on

Moving on

 

Seems like I’ve been on this ship so long

Little splashes all I see

Ten more lovers to the wind

And once again I’m left with me

 

Seems that as my time draws nearer

I look into that mirror at a face that’s had its fun

And kept moving on

Always moving on

With no one

 

But what if we were in the same boat

Rolling to the same beat

Listening to each other

No eyes for another

No need to ever look away

 

And what if we could stay together

And simply move on day after day after day

Sun and stormy weather

You and I together moving on always

Sun and stormy weather

Side by side together you and I always

Sun and stormy weather

You and I forever moving on always

Always
