Written by Grant Hart, “She Floated Away” is often described as being in the form of a sea shanty because of its repetitive, 6/8 chorus. It’s also a song that could usually be found on his solo setlists.
[Verse 1]
With her grandmother's face and her father's brown eyes
Her own force of will to her mother's surprise
A whole look about her that says that she may
She lifted her arms and she floated away
[Chorus]
She floated away, yes, she floated away
She lifted her arms and she floated away
She don't give a damn what the other girls say
She lifted her arms and she floated away
[Verse 2]
"Let me talk to you, mother," she tried to confess
"Go ahead, honey, and wear the white dress
Don't let traditions go stand in your way"
She lifted her arms and she floated away
[Chorus]
She floated away, yes, she floated away
She lifted her arms and she floated away
She don't give a damn what the other girls say
She lifted her arms and she floated away
[Verse 3]
Well, a man has two reasons for things that he does
The first one is pride and the second one is love
All understandings must come by this way
She lifted her arms and she floated away
[Chorus]
She floated away, yes, she floated away
She lifted her arms and she floated away
She don't give a damn what the other girls say
She lifted her arms and she floated away
