I Had a Boat

I had a boat
Battered and twisted and worn out
We were moored up between keynsham and frome
Why didn't you work, damn it
I laid my hair down
I lay my hair down
And the words pour out
I lay my hair down
And the words fall out
I had a boat
Battered and twisted and worn

I have a song
Set up in me like fire in wine
Rallied and long
Bought by yours
Symmetry in the way we do
Dance love, it's over your body
I'm already on your bed

What if your skin and mine would die
For all your want?
And lower mine to damn
Throw your hand to the bone
I'm leaving on the wave I came in on
I had a boat but it's gone
I had a boat but it's gone
I had a boat but it's long gone
