Boat Song Lyrics - Trading Snakeoil For Wolftickets - Gary Jules

Boy when out on a boat tonight 

Waiting on his lover 

Seen his mermaid bride in the moonlight 

And 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 I'm living alone 

Now they see him out on the waterways 

Rolling on the foam 

Only memory 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 I'm living alone
