lyrics

A Boat on the Ocean
For Joan and Justin Frampton


They said you’re bad news but I don’t believe it.
They told me to shield my heart from you,
but I laid it out for you to to see, it’s in my words, and on my sleeve,
and it makes no difference if you’re pink or blue.

The way I see you is like a boat on the ocean,
sailing away and out of view.
But someday I might learn to row, board that dory, leave my home,
and sail into the sunset, right to you.

‘Cause my heart (my heart) knows what’s done is done,
and you just had to run, but I’ll be there, in time, in time.
My head (my head) knows where I’ve been,
I’m sorry for my sins, and I’ll be there, in time, in time, my love.

Nobody knows what’s beyond that horizon.
(though many “wise” men say they do)
Whether it’s a house upon the clouds,
or sleeping soundly, underground,
or waking up again as someone new.

I never did try to hurt anybody.
I’ve been minding all my Ps and Qs.
I’ll cross my T’s dot my I’s, pay my dues, tell no lies,
and hope that someday I’ll be right there too.

‘Cause my heart (my heart) knows what’s done is done,
and you just had to run but I’ll be there, in time, in time.
My head (my head) knows, where I’ve been,
I’m sorry for my sins and I’ll be there, in time, in time, my love.

We’re just here
for now, blind
to what comes
after
fumbling
through somehow.

‘Cause my heart
(my heart)
knows

what’s done
is done. You
just had to run

but I’ll be there in time,
in time,

My head (my head) knows,
where I’ve been,I’m sorry for my sins

and I’ll be there, in time, in time,
in time, in time,
in time, my love.
