Wooden Boat
A little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat
Sitting there for hours in the cold
Patience is a virtue til we die
Then a ripple in the water caught my eye
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep
Who knows how long this will last?
Only was last week I learned to drive
Stole my Mother's keys and drove all night
Christine never showed, it's 4am
Started up Mum's car, drove home again
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep
Who knows how long this will last?
One year ago I kissed my bride
Now I wait to hear my baby's cry
Woman showed me all that she knew then
To cut himself down man's born again
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep
Who knows how long this will last?
Christine died and now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat?
Sitting there for hours in the cold
Patience is a virtue til we die
Then a ripple in the water caught my eye
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep
Who knows how long this will last?
Only was last week I learned to drive
Stole my Mother's keys and drove all night
Christine never showed, it's 4am
Started up Mum's car, drove home again
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep
Who knows how long this will last?
One year ago I kissed my bride
Now I wait to hear my baby's cry
Woman showed me all that she knew then
To cut himself down man's born again
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep
Who knows how long this will last?
Christine died and now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat?
