Bote

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now

I pray lord please help me right

This ship today

Cause i can't take much more

Of this strain on my battered hull.

I thought i was tough

I thought i was strong

Thought i could handle anyone who came along

Thought the worth of a boat

In how well it floats

And this old boat won't float for long with all these holes

So i grab both sides with iron will

It's fit for war but weighs too much and starts to fill

Now i'm clutching the sides as long as i can

It's much too cold to swim

And much too deep to stand.

When i started off down this path

I was well aware of the facts

And despite the proof i have vowed to choose

I continue bearing these

I thought i was quick

As smart as a whip

I guess i met my match

But stiffen up, my lip.

My wit's getting weak

The sea's on the rise

And here i sit exposed

Atop the lying side

I thought i was tough

I thought i was strong

But i can't stay aboard this sinking ship for long

I thought i was quick

Smart as a whip

I guess i met my match this time

I'll take my leave.

And when comes to shore

And i feel like enough's enough

And despite the shit-storm that's pounding my home

I walk outside and set off.

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now
