 Lying in  your boat  you started floating  away.
 x1
 On dancing through  the rapids,  your body tossed  and swayed.
 x1
 Out to the open  seas  you sailed.
 Your tiny sail  all wet,  unveiled.
 You and your  little boat,  you met the world  today.
 x1
 x2
 As fallen cities  and carnival  lights
 And shipyards docks  and the isle  of Wight.
 You and your  little boat,  you saw the  world today.

 NO CHORDS
  Watching the sea, contemplating. Waiting for a revelation.
  And waiting and waiting, and then
 Waking one  quiet  day, your boat had drifted  ashore
 x1
 At the base  of a hill  you've never seen  before
 x1
 You climbed the slope,  it stretched  on upward,  but
 Your feet sunk into  the ground  and they slipped  hard.
 And you fe-e-ell...
 And you fe-e-ell.
 x2
 Clouds blow,  the ships sail  (do you  stay the same?)
 Waves splash,  the birds wail  (do you  feel the same?)
 The shore moves,  the lights change.  (is it  all the same?)
 Planes fly,  the sky  rains.
 x8
