Yellow Boat

on the sea
my yellow boat
only the three
to stay afloat

who will greet me
my arms are bare
tales of water
are all i have to share

chorus:
and the river runs
though it’s only knee deep
and the ice that melts
becomes the raging sea

they see my beauty
and gather round
my cup is empty
my boat aground

in between
the sea and sky
my yellow boat
rendered them blind

chorus:

i wonder where
the treasures lie
this peeling paint
i though was dry

from the east all finery
i filled my boat
so all would heed me honestly

but heads were turned
by shinery
my yellow boat
a skeleton for all to see

chorus:

and the wind that blows
through the leaves
is the wind that tears
the dust from the fields

on the sea
my yellow boat
