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
