Boat Song Lyrics by Gary Jules
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
