Small Boat lyrics

Well, they’re leaving now, and it’s hard to stay abreast When I’m floating on the verge It’s dark and deep beneath my feet And the water just goes down I am small boat taking on water With no man to row across her I’m waiting out the waves I wish that an island would come to save me And rock me gently like a baby I need something firm to rest against Well, a blind heart can’t see the end of the ocean (endlessness, passionlessness) And a sick doesn’t care if she can see (fear of never getting somewhere) My own heart doesn’t have the strength to get there (dispossess the spirit of sadness) Unless you revive me (love makes nothing of the distance) I am small boat taking on water With no man to row across her I’m waiting out the waves I wish that an island would come to save me And rock me gently like a baby I need something firm to rest against I am small boat taking on water With no man to row across her I’m waiting out the waves I wish that an island would come to save me And rock me gently like a baby I need something firm to rest against (I need something firm to rest against)
