lyrics

This old boat turns the water white
waves carry the sparkling light
stay inside watch through the holes
the sun is warm but the wind is cold

When night falls they won't see you cry
the moon won't laugh at you stars won't lie
soon all the bright city lights are out of sight
and we won't hear a sound

In the morning look to the sky
see the grey clouds pass you by
we'll talk of weather and far off lands
golden treasures silver sands

When night falls they won't see you cry
the moon won't laugh at you stars won't lie
soon all the bright city lights are out of sight
and we won't hear a sound

Wherever you go that's where you'll be
in the middle of nowhere
on the deep blue see
it's just horizons and blue on blue
and this old boat will carry you through
