If I Had A Boat
Golden, golden, golden river runTo the East then drop beneath the sunAnd as the moon lies low and overheadWe're lost
Burn slow, burning up the back wallLong roads, where the city meets the skyMost days, most days stay the sole samePlease stay, for this fear it will not die
If I had a boat, I would sail to youHold you in my arms, ask you to be trueOnce I had a dream, it died long beforeNow I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Down low, down amongst the thorn rowsWeeds grow, through the lilies and the vineBirds play, try to find their own waySoft clay, on your feet and under mine
If I had a boat, I would sail to youHold you in my arms, ask you to be trueOnce I had a dream, it died long beforeNow I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Splitting at the seamsHeaving at the braceSheets all billowingBreaking of the daySea is not my friendAnd everyone conspiresStill I choose to swimSlip beneath the tide
Once I had a dreamOnce I had a hopeThat was yesterdayNot so long agoThis is not the endThis is just the worldSuch a foolish thingSuch an honest girl
If I had a boat, I would sail to youHold you in my arms, ask you to be trueOnce I had a dream, it died long beforeNow I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
