Lyrics
Small Boat
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.
Well, they’re leaving now, and it’s hard to stay abreast
When I’m floating on the verge
It’s dark and deep beneath my feet
And the water just goes down
I am small boat taking on water
With no man to row across her
I’m waiting out the waves
I wish that an island would come to save me
And rock me gently like a baby
I need something firm to rest against
Well, a blind heart can’t see the end of the ocean (endlessness, passionlessness)
And a sick doesn’t care if she can see (fear of never getting somewhere)
My own heart doesn’t have the strength to get there (dispossess the spirit of sadness)
Unless you revive me (love makes nothing of the distance)
I am small boat taking on water
With no man to row across her
I’m waiting out the waves
I wish that an island would come to save me
And rock me gently like a baby
I need something firm to rest against
I am small boat taking on water
With no man to row across her
I’m waiting out the waves
I wish that an island would come to save me
And rock me gently like a baby
I need something firm to rest against
(I need something firm to rest against)
