Boat On Black Water Lyrics

A boat alone

On black water

White birds above

In the crashing

Of the waves

A boat alone

On black water

White birds above

In the crashing

Of the waves

A boat alone

On black water

White birds above

In the crashing

Of the waves

You can feel it—

Against the wood

In the splinters

Seeping in

Dampening and

Pulling downward

Heavy with

The sullen sighs

Of the wind

Dark clouds make

The dark sky darker

An eerie pillow

Pushing down

Suffocating

Disallowing life to flow

And its sinking

All sinking

So slowly

That our mouths gape open

Our breath is caught

As we reach out

Dark clouds make

The dark sky darker

An eerie pillow

Pushing down

Suffocating

Disallowing life to flow

And its sinking

All sinking

But cannot touch

Cannot stop it

Can only watch in horror

Until the last bit

Swallows it whole

And not a trace

Of the carnage

Is left upon the surface

Of the hungry black water

All sinking

So slowly

The dark waves

And our breath is caught
