Well, they’re leaving now, and it’s hard to stay abreast
When I’m floating on the verge
It’s dark and deep beneath my feet
And the water just goes down
I am small boat taking on water
With no man to row across her;
I’m waiting out the waves
I wish that an island would come to save me
Rock me gently like a baby -
I need something firm to rest against
Well, a blind heart can’t see the end of the ocean
And a sick doesn’t care if she can see
My own heart doesn’t have the strength to get there
Unless you revive me
(endlessness, passionlessness
Fear of never getting somewhere
Dispossess the spirit of sadness
Love makes nothing of the distance)
I am small boat taking on water
With no man to row across her;
I’m waiting out the waves
I wish that an island would come to save me
Rock me gently like a baby -
I need something firm to rest against
