These Boats

There's nothing in the bird that makes it sing

There's nothing in the sun who give it light

There's nothing like a ship to help me float

Or the docks that keep me awake a night

Time is gonna roll if we stand still

Earth is gonna move if we lie down

There's nothing like a ship to help me float,

or tidal wave to help me drown

But I'll wait for you here

Since you cannot stand in fear

And if I've left or if I'm gone,

These boats will take you home

I shredded up the copies of your Bible

I had the words in my head

Noah had the flood and you had your demons,

everyone's got something coming around

Nothing like the phone calls you gave to me

Woken up early with the early bird

There's nothing like a ship to help me float,

or a tidal wave to help you drown

But I'll wait for you here

Since you cannot stand in fear

And if I've left or if I'm gone

These boats will take you home

But I'll wait for you here

Since you cannot stand in fear

And if I've left or if I'm gone

These boats will take you home

These boats will take you home
