I awake from a long, deep sleep In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea I spy no island, rock or shore And the sea, she's a-comin´ to me through a hole in the floor
And the tide come in and the tide go out And the waves they came knock my little boat about And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too Just a leaky little boat
And as I wake, I look around I´ve no notion where I am bound So many different colored boats I see Are all leaky, lonely, & driftin´ Just like me
And the tide come in & the tide go out And the waves they came and toss my little boat about And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too Just a leaky little boat
I spy no island rock or shore I spy no island rock or shore I spy no island shore And the sea, she's a-comin´ to me through a hole in the floor
In my leaky little boat In my leaky little boat In my leaky little boat In my leaky little boat
I spy no island rock or shore I spy no island rock or shore I spy no island shore And the sea keeps a-comin´ to me through a hole in the floor
In my leaky little boat In my leaky little boat In my leaky little boat In my leaky little boat
Alone, adrift together are we Slowly sinkin´ in a deep blue sea But we smile and we wave And we say, "I am afraid...and I love you...and here we go..."
And the tide come in & the tide go out And the waves they came and toss my little boat about And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
Just a leaky little boat Just a leaky little boat Just a leaky little boat Just a leaky little boat
