Boats (Swept Away)

Make a wish on whispered stars

For a road and faster car.

And wait, see if it comes true

For a house on distant streets

Dream of nights in softer sheets

This beach, will wait

So I know you're tired,

So leave it to the tide,

And at next light,

When weather's right,

Come sailing home

Let the dark subside,

Just leave it to one side,

I'm on your side,

When weather's right,

Come sailing home again

Walk the land and see the shore

Think of less and want for more

And wait, to keep the grey from blue

In a house on distant streets

Someone dreams a distant beach

And waits, they wait

So I know you're tired,

So leave it to the tide,

And at next light,

When weather's right,

Come sailing home

Let the dark subside,

Just leave it to one side,

I'm on your side,

When weather's right

You'll see it swept away

You'll see it swept away
