Lyrics
Build Me a Boat
Build me a boat that will sail the sea
Like a charm on a tinker’s lips.
Build me a boat that will sail the sea
Like a gannet clears the cliffs.
As the waves come rushing in
And the compass needle spins
Build me a boat.
Build me a sky that will light my day
Like the glint in a lover’s eye.
Build me a sky that will light my day
Like the spray on a darkened wave
When tomorrow’s hard to see
And the darkness crowds on me
Build me a boat.
Build me a road that will take me home
When I’m lost in a strange country
Build me a road that will take me home
The harbour lights to see
When the charts we need are gone
And the distances seem long
Build me a boat
