Leaky Little Boat Songtext
von Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers

I awake from a long, deep sleep
In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea
I spy no islane, 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 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


And as I wake I look around
I have no notion where I′m bound
So many different colored boats I see
Are all leaky, lonely, and driftin'
Just like me

And the tide come in and the tide go out...

I spy no island rock or shore
And the sea keeps a-comin' to me through a hole in the floor
Of 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′m afraid... and I love you... and here we go..."
