You don't pay the rent
You don't know how it feels
To be one step from poverty
But when I'm alone
I smile to myself
Though the room is draped in shadow
And I draw with the sun
'Cos in the night, colours run
And this fight had hardly begun
Now it's over
And I am the boat
No one upon me floats
And I am the tree
Nothing grows under me
I draw with the sun
'Cos in the night, colours run
And this life had hardly begun
Now it's over
And I wait in the rain
As you leave on your train
It's so long till we meet again
And I'll miss you
And I'll haunt you
But I am the boat
I am the boat
