Ships

I felt the need to build a boat for two
I found a way to sail the ocean blue
I will show you how
I will show you how
I built her body out of oak and red
I stitched her garments with a tailor's thread
I will show you how
I will show you how
All aboard all alone on deck
I took her out to the sea
With just an oar over blackened swell
Waiting out there for me
She's waiting out there for me
The ship was rocking like a cradle bed
But the swaying kept me up instead
I will let you down
I will let you down
I threw the anchor over starboard side
It stopped the swaying but gave no respite
I will let you down
I will let you down
All aboard all alone on deck
I took her out to the sea
With just an oar over blackened swell
Waiting out there for me
She's waiting out there for me
All I've done
Just to be away from the shore
Just to turn back now
I'm turning back now
