D Bm G A

Lying in your boat you started floating away.

D Bm G A

On dancing through the rapids, your body tossed and swayed.

D Bm G A

Out to the open seas you sailed.

D Bm G A

Your tiny sail all wet, unveiled.

D Bm G A

You and your little boat, you met the world today.

D Bm G A

Bridge:

D Bm A

D Bm G A

As fallen cities and carnival lights

D Bm G A

And shipyards docks and the isle of Wight.

D Bm G A

You and your little boat, you saw the world today.

D Bm G A

NO CHORDS

Watching the sea, contemplating. Waiting for a revelation.

And waiting and waiting, and then

D Bm G A

Waking one quiet day, your boat had drifted ashore

D Bm G A

At the base of a hill you've never seen before

D Bm G A

You climbed the slope, it stretched on upward, but

D Bm G A

Your feet sunk into the ground and they slipped hard.

D Bm G A

And you fe-e-ell...

D Bm G A

And you fe-e-ell.

D Bm G A

Clouds blow, the ships sail (do you stay the same?)

D Bm G A

Waves splash, the birds wail (do you feel the same?)

D Bm G A

The shore moves, the lights change. (is it all the same?)

D Bm G A

Planes fly, the sky rains.

D Bm G A
