The Nautical Mile Lyrics - Broadways

a fistfull of feeling tossed into the water 

the boat has a hole we're sinking take it in stride and stand down 

the world comes much harder than one thousand hard hands 

and when it fights fight back with right minds 

yes it is uncertain but i'm surely certain that we all must get along 

and take it in hand and pull yourself up 

this comes much harder than one thousand hard hands 

such in that gut you're in luck 

you've got one thousand people on your side 

take it in stride and when there's nothing left to patch the hole 

we'll swim together and let the boat sink to the bottom of the stream 

with all it's long lost friends 

(abandoned drown in loneliness not strong enough to hold our dreams) 

and if it comes down to just you and i 

standing on the last corner of the last town 

of the last city in the burning world 

you'll still have someone on your side 

life is bigger, so much bigger than all of this.
