from springfield, mass. to concord town,
i saw those lights go down.
in a gorge in kansas
i found my jesus,
he laid me down
and he said
if i build you a fishing boat,
would you leave everyone you know?
if i build you a fishing boat,
would you leave everyone you know?
would you be more likely to kill more time with me?
and then a sudden gail began to wail
it set my heart like no other love
like no other love
if i build you a fishing boat
if i build you a fishing boat
if i build you a fishing boat
would you leave everyone you know?
if i build you a fishing boat
would you leave everyone you know?
from springfield mass. to concord town
i saw my lights go down
