Lyrics
These Boats
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's nothing in the bird that makes it sing
There's nothing in the sun who give it light
There's nothing like a ship to help me float
Or the docks that keep me awake a night
Time is gonna roll if we stand still
Earth is gonna move if we lie down
There's nothing like a ship to help me float
or tidal wave to help me drown
But I'll wait for you here
Since you cannot stand in fear
And if I've left or if I'm gone
These boats will take you home
I shredded up the copies of your Bible
I had the words in my head
Noah had the flood and you had your demons
everyone's got something coming around
Nothing like the phone calls you gave to me
Woken up early with the early bird
There's nothing like a ship to help me float
or a tidal wave to help you drown
But I'll wait for you here
Since you cannot stand in fear
And if I've left or if I'm gone
These boats will take you home
But I'll wait for you here
Since you cannot stand in fear
And if I've left or if I'm gone
These boats will take you home
These boats will take you home
