Music: James Vincent McMorrow - If I had a Boat - This Old Dark Machine (SK-Session) - Lyrics - 2 Vids

"If I Had A Boat"

Golden, golden, golden river run
To the East then drop beneath the sun
And as the moon lies low and overhead
We're lost

Burn slow, burning up the back wall
Long roads, where the city meets the sky
Most days, most days stay the sole same
Please stay, for this fear it will not die

If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

Down low, down amongst the thorn rows
Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine
Birds play, try to find their own way
Soft clay, on your feet and under mine

If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

Splitting at the seams
Heaving at the brace
Sheets all billowing
Breaking of the day
Sea is not my friend
And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip beneath the tide

Once I had a dream
Once I had a hope
That was yesterday
Not so long ago
This is not the end
This is just the world
Such a foolish thing
Such an honest girl

If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
 

Spring, it came upon us
Every insect filled the air
Dropped their wings upon my brother
Cast their shadows on his hair

If we follow where they're leading
We will surely come before
Some unseen and wondrous magic
Made of visions to explore

Near the town where we were living
There's an old abandoned farm
And every year we'd plant an orchid
In the shelter of it's arm

To protect us from the madness
Of the future still to come
It will be like this forever
It will keep you safe from harm

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Then they caught us in the summer
Dressed in fathers finest clothes
Knew the hat he wore to market
Alvin jacket filled with holes

I've been searching all these hours
For a hand as pale as bone
That would keep the strongest sunlight
And reflect the brightest stone

Near the town where we were living
Was a warm and fragrant smell
Of the orchid we had planted
Now a forest tall and well

What a statue to our greatness
What a story all will tell
They'll remember us forever
They'll remember where we fell

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
Pulls to the left, dies near the gutter
But still in the road, the traffic is silent
The people they stare then they turn violent

If they should touch the hem of your dress
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
The faithful they wait, the faithful
They wait by the sign

Near the town where we were living
Came a loud and joyous sound
As the earth and all her beauty
Picked us up from off the ground

Carried far across the mountain
To a kingdom never bound
We will live like this forever
I will love you, I will love you, I will love you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
