If I Had A Boat Lyrics - Early In The Morning - James Vincent Mcmorrow

Golden, golden, golden river run 

To the East then drop beneath the sun 

And as the moon lies low and overhead 

We're lost 

Burn slow, burning up the back wall 

Long roads, where the city meets the sky 

Most days, most days stay the sole same 

Please stay, for this fear it will not die 

If I had a boat, I would sail to you 

Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 

Once I had a dream, it died long before 

Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore 

Down low, down amongst the thorn rows 

Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine 

Birds play, try to find their own way 

Soft clay, on your feet and under mine 

Splitting at the seams 

Heaving at the brace 

Sheets all billowing 

Breaking of the day 

Sea is not my friend 

And everyone conspires 

Still I choose to swim 

Slip beneath the tide 

Once I had a dream 

Once I had a hope 

That was yesterday 

Not so long ago 

This is not the end 

This is just the world 

Such a foolish thing 

Such an honest girl
