Wooden Boat

A little boy, me
went fishing in a
wooden boat
Sitting there for
hours in the cold
Patience is a virtue
Ôtil 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 go to black
Breathe deep,
who knows how long
will this last

Only was last week
I learnt to drive
I stole my mother's keys
and drove all night
Christine never
showed, it's 4 am
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 go to black

Breathe deep,
who knows how long
will this 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 go to black
Breathe deep,
who knows how long
will this last

Christine died and
now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give to be
on that wooden boat
