The Boat Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last autumn's leaves cling to your feet
Like they're frozen in the salty tears
The waves they trespass on freedom
Breakin' over the casualty of years
The shells lay broken and scattered
Remnants of a beauty once so frail
A passion unleashed and unshackled
Scarrin' all the uncharted trails

[Chorus]
But I would love to take you sailin'
Over that uncertain sea
Where the waves wash away all your vanity
And though that feelin' is foreign to you
At the borderline you're left alone
I would love to build a boat
That would carry you home

[Verse 2]
The tide, it only gains and then recedes
It is never constant for complaint
There is no assurance of what you need
Only what you want and what you ain't
The chill, it is spoken on the shore
When first indulged upon the sand
But the ocean it is only like a whore
Who's been used to many a man

[Chorus]
But I would love to take you sailin'
Over that uncertain sea
Where the waves wash away all your vanity
And though that feelin' is foreign to you
At the borderline you're left alone
I would love to build a boat
That would carry you home

[Verse 3]
So bring your blanket close to the edge
So close you can feel the ocean's wealth
The rhythm of the moon's only mistress
That teases you into bein' something else
The storm it is forging in its wisdom
On the lazy and the beggared guilt
For those who take the sea for granted
Wash away the sand on which their love is built

[Chorus]
But I would love to take you sailin'
Over that uncertain sea
Where the waves wash away all your vanity
And though that feelin' is foreign to you
At the borderline you're left alone
I would love to build a boat
That would carry you home
I would love to build a boat
That would carry you home
