Ode To A Slowboat Lyrics - Singles - Richard Clapton

Watching the slow boats in the late afternoon 

Out on the edge of the wharf 

Madelaine sighs as life passes by 

And we know we don't need to talk 

I've never seen so many shades of blue 

Stretch from the beach to the sky 

We've got our toes in that cool, cool sea 

And the slow boats glide on by 

Watching the slow boats go by 

Watching the slow boats go by 

Slow down, slow down 

Look at them slow boats glide 

Look at them slow boats glide 

I won't be no runner in this life's race 

Carrying some other man's torch 

Working and fretting ain't the life for me 

I'm out on the old boardwalk
