Boat Song Lyrics

Boat Song lyrics




Boy when out on a boat tonight

Waiting on his lover

Seen his mermaid bride in the moonlight

And the arms of another

She said "standing on the water is easier to do

Then to try and be a family living here with you

And the more I've been thinking

The more I know I'm living alone



Now they see him out on the waterways

Rolling on the foam

Only memory for a future

Only ocean for a home

'Cause Amelia's the name that she calls herself these days

And "birds! birds!" is all we heard before she flew away

And the more I've been thinking

The more I know I'm living alone
