Boats Lyrics

One day I took my boat out on a sea of hope

So the abyss of my mind

Would lead me far from home

Sky above and sea below

So free at once and incomplete was I

All of me so alone

So I jumped swimming in the water

Swimming round and round my boat

Thought I was a fish

And I always returned

Drying off the water

Sitting in my lonely boat

Never quite a man

One day out on the sea of love

The light of you so holy

Breaking through my eyes

Sky above and see below

So free at once and incomplete where you

All of you so alone

This was the time

When we'd meet each other halfway

We were sharing all our secrets

And talking 'bout our fears

We are the lost ones

And through each other found

And lost again and found again

Afraid to climb into each other's boat

One day we'd find each other on solid ground

And build a boat together

While you and I face the storms of life

So hard to believe

Two hearts could beat as one

As I believe that you and I could sail together

But then I jumped into my confusion

Swimming all around my brain

Like some therapist

I never returned

Going back to my old self

Clinging to security

Never quite cured

So we jumped into our illusions

Swimming all around our brains

Like a therapist And then we returned

Going back to our old selves

Clinging to security Never quite cured
