Boat Song

Gary Jules

Boy went out

On a boat tonight

Waiting on his lover

Seen his mermaid bright

In the moonlight

in the arms of another



She said "Standing on

The water is easier to do

Then to try and be

A family living here with you"



And the more

I've been thinking

The more I know

You know I'm living alone.



Now they see him

Out on the water waves

Rolling on the foam

Only memories for a future

Only ocean for a home



Cause Amelia's the name

That she calls herself these days

And "birds, birds!" is all we heard

Before she flew away



And the more

I've been thinking

The more I know

You know I'm living alone
