When My Rowboat Comes In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the stormy night
When the clouds roll in
To hide the lucky stars that I am under
And the smoky sky
Makes the heavens cry
When the lightnin' strikes so long before the thunder
When the rain is done
And I'm all alone
In the silence of the dawn that follows after
Then I need someone who can find the sun
And chase away my sorrow with her laughter
When my rowboat comes in
There'll be room enough to ride
Though the seas are rough
In the highest tide
When the sun comes out on the other side
Everything will be all right when we go rowin'
As I find my way
Down this lonely road
With my old guitar as my one true companion
You can hear me play
Every song I know
From the mountains to the bottom of the canyon
Now they say that time is a precious jewel
I'm looking for some moments I can borrow
And if my lucky stars won't shine tonight
I'd rather take my chances on tomorrow
When my rowboat comes in
There'll be room enough to ride
Though the seas are rough
In the highest tide
When the sun comes out on the other side
Everything will be all right when we go rowin'
When my rowboat comes in
There'll be room enough to ride
Though the seas are rough
In the highest tide
When the sun comes out on the other side
Everything will be all right when we go rowin'
