Gary Jules - Boat Song lyrics

rate me

Boy went out on a boat tonight

Waiting on his lover

Seen his mermaid bright in the moonlight

In the arms of another

She said "standing on the water is easier to do

Than to try and be a family living here with you"

And the more I've been thinking

The more I know

You know I'm living alone

Now they see him out on the water waves

Rolling on the foam

Only memories 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

You know I'm living alone
