Little Birdy - Six Months In A Leaky Boat lyrics

rate me

When I was a young girl

I wanted to sail around the world

That's the life for me, living on the sea

Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe

The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge no frontier

I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky

Lightning flash, tempers flare,

'round the horn if you dare

I just spent six months in a leaky, boat

looking just to keep afloat

Aotearoa, rugged individual

Glisten like a pearl

At the bottom of the world

The tyranny of distance

Didn't stop the cavalier

So why should it stop me

I'll conquer and stay free

Ah c'mon all you boys

Let's forget and forgive

There's a world to explore

Tales to tell back on shore

I just spent six months in a leaky boat

Six months in a leaky boat

Ship-wrecked love can be cruel

Don't be fooled by her kind

There's a wind in my sails

To protect and prevail

I just spent six months in a leaky boat

Six months in a leaky boat

Thanks to zoeeee for these lyrics
