Longer Boats Lyrics - Tea For The Tillerman - Cat Stevens

[Chorus] 

Longer boats are coming to win us 

They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us 

Longer boats are coming to win us 

Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door. 

I don't want no god on my lawn 

Just a flower I can help along 

'Cause the soul of no body knows 

How a flower grows 

Oh how a flower grows.

[Chorus] 

Mary dropped her pants by the sand 

And let a parson come and take her hand 

But the soul of no body knows 

Where the parson goes, where does the parson go? 

[Chorus]

Raise your mind up and look around 

You can see them, yes they're looking down 

From a lonely asteroid, in a vacant void. 

Dyin', but not destroyed.
