Lyrics

A Boat Lies Waiting

"It’s like going into the sea, there's nothing"

Something I never knew

In silence I hear you

And a boat lies waiting

Still your clouds are flaming

That old time easy feeling

What I lost was an ocean

Now I'm drifting through without you

In this sad barcarolle

What I lost was an ocean

And I'm rolling right behind you

In this sad barcarolle

It rocks you like a cradle

It rocks you to the core

You'll sleep like a baby

As it knocks at Death's door
