Lyrics
Boy and Boat © Sue Bargh 2005
Take out your boat with the one that you love
Have your princess by your side
Have no distractions no ill wind from the east
Have peace till the moon turns the tide
Make a new life a good life
And it will count
Save the best of yourself for the ones that you love
And leave the rest behind
Sail to the stars as far as you can
The horizons in reach of your grasp
Make a wish on the ocean dream of life overseas
Watching waves crashing back on the beach
Like the hint of a moon in a sunny sky
Like the start of a newly born day
Give a piece of yourself
The part that’s the best
And leave the worse behind
If the clouds look like thunder
And the sea starts to quake
Turn your boat around
While I hope you fare well
On the voyage through your life
I wish you would sail back home
I wish you would sail back home
