James Vincent Mc Morrow - If I had a boat



Golden, golden, golden river run 

To the east and drop beneath the sun 
And as the moon lies low and overhead. We're lost 



Burn slow, burning up the back wall 
Long roads, where the city meets the sky 
Most days, most days stay the sole same 
Please stay. For this fear of the night time 



If I had a boat I would sail to you 
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 
Once I had a dream, it died long before 
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore 



Down low, down amongst the thorn rows 
Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine 
Birds play, try to find their own way 
Soft clay on your feet and under mine 



If I had a boat I would sail to you 
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 
Once I had a dream, it died long before 
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore 



Spitting at the sea. Heaving at the breeze 
Sheets are billowing. Breaking of the day 
Sea is not my friend and everyone conspires 
Still I choose to swim, slip beneath the tide 



Once I had a dream, once I had a hope 
That was yesterday, not so long ago 
This is not the end, this is just the world 
Such a foolish thing, such an honest girl 



If I had a boat I would sail to you 
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 
Once I had a dream, it died long before 
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
