David Gray - Last Boat to America lyrics

rate me

Make me a boat

Away I'll float

Into the stillness of a pure blue sky

There's nothing here to hold me now

And I got no more tears to cry

Grant me a wish just one more kiss

Oh baby kiss me till the daylight's through

These days of make believe

But there ain't nothing any fool can do

Pin another dream on my

'cos the night is bearing down

Baby let's got all the way this time

Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth

I got some trouble trying to understand

Beneath the veils of mystery

Are these the movements of an unseen hand

Our arms are full of sunken treasure baby

Now our heads are full of perfect sound

But do we truly see it hey

Till we're placing it in the ground

Take just what you need from me

'cos the night is bearing down

Baby let't go all the way this time

Frost on my windowpane is forming

Don't pin that line on me oh no

Don't pin that line on me oh no

Don't pin that line on me oh no

Don't pin that line on me oh no

Baby let's go all the way this time

Won't you take me all the way this time

Baby let's go all the way this time

Make me a boat

Away I'll float

Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
