Missing the Boat
You're my anchor, and you keep me from drifting away
I've got a chance to go, but you keep my dreams at bay
Fair weather lovers, they come and they go
They can't be swayed to stay, when the high winds blow
What to do when life on land is a bore
And I know I'll lose you if I leave you on the shore
I'm missing the boat, this house is like a jail
My soul needs a mate who's ready to set sail
Don't wanna live my life on an even keel
I want a happy marriage with an angle of heel
I'm ready to bail, we're barely stayin' afloat
I'd be sad to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
Our love hangs in the balance, and ever since we met
I've longed for open water, but you're afraid to get wet
I don't wanna be alone, but the call is loud and clear
And we both know I can't make you overcome your fear
I'm missing the boat, and this house is like a jail
My soul needs a mate who's ready to set sail
Don't wanna live my life on an even keel
I want a happy marriage with an angle of heel
I'm ready to bail, we're barely stayin' afloat
I'd be sad to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
Many a married man has found the sailing life
Many soon learn they've lost their wife
I've seen it happen and I understand why
But even so, my boating dreams won't die
I'm missing the boat, this house is like a jail
My soul needs a mate who's ready to set sail
Don't wanna live my life on an even keel
I want a happy marriage with an angle of heel
I'm ready to bail, we're barely stayin' afloat
I'd be sad to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
I'm missing the boat and missing you can't compare
But your heart's just not in it, and mine's already there
Feels like I'm taking on water, my spirit's sinking down
But drowning in my sorrows won't get me outward bound
I'm ready to sail, and now it's time for me to go
I'm sad I have to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
I'm sailing off without you, you're missing the boat
I've got a chance to go, but you keep my dreams at bay
Fair weather lovers, they come and they go
They can't be swayed to stay, when the high winds blow
What to do when life on land is a bore
And I know I'll lose you if I leave you on the shore
I'm missing the boat, this house is like a jail
My soul needs a mate who's ready to set sail
Don't wanna live my life on an even keel
I want a happy marriage with an angle of heel
I'm ready to bail, we're barely stayin' afloat
I'd be sad to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
Our love hangs in the balance, and ever since we met
I've longed for open water, but you're afraid to get wet
I don't wanna be alone, but the call is loud and clear
And we both know I can't make you overcome your fear
I'm missing the boat, and this house is like a jail
My soul needs a mate who's ready to set sail
Don't wanna live my life on an even keel
I want a happy marriage with an angle of heel
I'm ready to bail, we're barely stayin' afloat
I'd be sad to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
Many a married man has found the sailing life
Many soon learn they've lost their wife
I've seen it happen and I understand why
But even so, my boating dreams won't die
I'm missing the boat, this house is like a jail
My soul needs a mate who's ready to set sail
Don't wanna live my life on an even keel
I want a happy marriage with an angle of heel
I'm ready to bail, we're barely stayin' afloat
I'd be sad to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
I'm missing the boat and missing you can't compare
But your heart's just not in it, and mine's already there
Feels like I'm taking on water, my spirit's sinking down
But drowning in my sorrows won't get me outward bound
I'm ready to sail, and now it's time for me to go
I'm sad I have to leave you, but I'm missing the boat
I'm sailing off without you, you're missing the boat
