There's a tune ringing in my ear
That always starts me singing
There's a doubt hiding in my fears
Till something starts it stinging
And my head starts to spin and to sink
And my arms are too tired to bail
But here we are in this slow boat
Wishing for a sail
There's a path that leads beneath the trees
Waiting to be traveled
There's a riddle that was written just for me
That has to be unraveled
And my coat is tattered and torn
Worn down by the wind's wicked wail
And here we are in this slow boat
Wishing for a sail
There's a devil standing on my tail
But I don't have to beat him
There's an angel tempting me to fail
But I don't really need him
Because the waves just keep rolling along
We can drift if the current prevails
But here we are in this slow boat
Wishing for a sail
There's a tune ringing in my ear
That always starts me singing
There's a doubt hiding in my fears
Till something starts it stinging
And my head starts to spin and to sink
And my arms are too tired to bail
But here we are in this slow boat
Wishing for a sail
There's a path that leads beneath the trees
Waiting to be traveled
There's a riddle that was written just for me
That has to be unraveled
And my coat is tattered and torn
Worn down by the wind's wicked wail
And here we are in this slow boat
Wishing for a sail
There's a devil standing on my tail
But I don't have to beat him
There's an angel tempting me to fail
But I don't really need him
Because the waves just keep rolling along
We can drift if the current prevails
But here we are in this slow boat
Wishing for a sail
