Little Green Boat
Apr. 9th, 2007 09:58 pmAs I am drowning I see you on the edge
Half-watching, half-knowing, not moving
Standing on a little green boat.
The others have come and gone
And thrown their frail lines to me.
But you are still there and standing on the edge
Half-watching, half-knowing, not moving
With a coil of rope at your side.
"Go back to your ship, I'm not here for you."
Not all of us can swim, you know.
The storm rises now and you turn from the edge
Half-watching, half-knowing, not caring
Now the little green boat sails away.
Half-watching, half-knowing, not moving
Standing on a little green boat.
The others have come and gone
And thrown their frail lines to me.
But you are still there and standing on the edge
Half-watching, half-knowing, not moving
With a coil of rope at your side.
"Go back to your ship, I'm not here for you."
Not all of us can swim, you know.
The storm rises now and you turn from the edge
Half-watching, half-knowing, not caring
Now the little green boat sails away.
