The Boat Song
When the time comes, I’ll be by the river dreaming up the night
I dream down the sun
When I need to sail open water
Take me to the river to keep my calm,
When I’m made out of glass I’ll shatter if you drop me
Don’t disturb the quiet
When any little question, any little ask
Can feel like a riot
Build me a boat carry the weight of me
Fast like a wind my darling
Fast like a wind my baby is
Built strong to take me on
Fast like a wind, fast like a wind
When we woke, I was frightened by your features
Scared of your crude and clumsy words
With no one to tell me if it’s alright
To love something out of plain sight
When I’m made out of glass
You can see right through me
I hide like a child
I’m under the covers with my eyes and ears covered
