Wooden Boat

A little boy and me went fishing in a wooden boat

Sitting there for hours in the cold

Patience is a virtue 'til we die

Then a ripple in the water caught my eye

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for

And that's the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to go to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

Only was last week I learned to drive

I stole my mother's keys and drove all night

Christine never showed it's four a.m.

I started up mum's car drove home again

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for

That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to go to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

One year ago I kissed my bride

Now I wait to hear my baby's cry

Woman showed me all that she knew then

To cut himself down, man's born again

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for

That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to go to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

Christine died and now I'm here alone

What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat
