Boat Song Lyrics

Song Text:

Boy went out on a boat tonight
Waiting on his lover
Seen his mermaid bright in the moonlight
In the arms of another
She said "standing on the water is easier to do
Than to try and be a family living here with you"
And the more I've been thinking
The more I know
You know I'm living alone

Now they see him out on the water waves
Rolling on the foam
Only memories for a future
Only ocean for a home
'Cause Amelia's the name that she calls herself these days
And "birds! birds!" is all we heard before she flew away
And the more I've been thinking
The more I know
You know I'm living alone
